Claudio Monteverdi changed the course of music history forever. Come and hear why as preeminent New York City-based early music ensemble Tenet Vocal Artists presents Note e Parole ("Of notes and words"), a spellbinding program of 17th-century Italian chamber music. The 17th century marked a period of intense intellectualism and bold musical experimentation that forged profound connections between music and poetry. Step into a world of heart-wrenching dissonances, quick wit, and lush poetry as TENET breathes new life into the masterworks of Monteverdi and Barbara Strozzi through a captivating array of solos, duets, and trios for voices and continuo. Artistic Director Jolle Greenleaf, hailed by The New York Times as a "golden soprano" and "a major force in the New York early music scene," leads this extraordinary journey through one of music's most innovative periods.
