Boston Baroque Performs Its Interpretation Of MONTEVERDI’S VESPERS OF 1610, 3/6
by BWW News Desk - Mar 6, 2010
Boston Baroque, the first permanent Baroque orchestra in North America, will perform Monteverdi's masterpiece, the Vespers of 1610, under the leadership of music director Martin Pearlman, on Saturday, March 6, 2010. The performance will take place within another masterpiece-the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. With its extraordinary beauty and scale, the Cathedral will provide a dramatic setting for the Vespers, which, in its own time, brilliantly exploited the spatial and acoustical possibilities of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The performance will mark both the 400th anniversary of the Vespers' publication and Boston Baroque's first appearance in New York since the mid 1980s (a Carnegie Hall performance of Handel's Messiah under the ensemble's original name, "Banchetto Musicale").
