Description

Thursday, Feb. 18, 2027, 7 p.m. Helzberg Hall For over 60 years, The Monteverdi Choir has been recognized as one of the greatest and most influential choirs in the world. Through a combination of consummate technique and historically informed performance practice, the Choir constantly strives to bring fresh perspectives, immediacy and drama to its performances. “If there was a Nobel prize for choirs, the Monteverdi Choir should be its laureate.” – Le Monde For over 40 years, the English Baroque Soloists has been one of the most innovative period-instrument ensembles, consistently challenging the preconceptions of audiences around the world. Equally at home in chamber, symphonic and operatic repertoire, its distinctively warm and incisive playing is instantly recognizable in music ranging from Monteverdi to Mozart. The orchestra has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues, including Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the Sydney Opera House.
