Beautiful and lively, the Sacred motets from Giovanni Cima's Concerti Ecclesiastici, anchor this program with various combinations of voice, violin, sackbut, harp and organ.  The violin, sackbut, and organ play nimble instrumental sonatas of Dario Castello and are joined by the voice for two virtuosic motets for soprano and instruments by Nicolò Corradini.

This program of Italian music of the first quarter of the 1600's will surprise you with its vivacity and variety.  Featuring:

Christopher Holman, Organ     Olivia Knutsen, Soprano     Sean McGhee, Sackbuts      Elizabeth Motter, Baroque Harp     Lindsey Tootle, Baroque Violin
