The Monteverdi 1641 Vespers conjures up the joy and festivity of Venice on the feastday of the city’s patron, Saint Mark. The concert includes an array of sparkling motets from Claudio Monteverdi’s Selva morale e spirituale of 1641, published just two years before the end of his life. The Choir of Newman College is joined by the vibrant vocal ensemble, Alchemy, and the widely acclaimed renaissance band, La Compañia, performing on an array of colourful instruments from cornetti and harps to lutes and harpsichords.
