CONCERT – Extravaganza Italiana: Ravishing Italian Baroque
Consortium Aurora Borealis presents “Extravaganza Italiana: Ravishing Italian Baroque”, a concert of stunning sonorities, playful and passionate moods, pastoral themes, love, joy and adoration, and lively dance rhythms from 17th-century Italy.
Sopranos Michele DeBoer and Dawn Bailey and lutenist Lucas Harris, three exceptional guest musicians from Toronto, perform sublime sacred and secular solos and duets by “the divine” Monteverdi, “the creator of modern music”. Violinists Jennifer Bryan and Michelle Zapf-Bélanger, cellist Anthony Bacon, and harpsichordist Elizabeth Ganiatsos play string sonatas by Marini and Uccellini. Lucas Harris introduces the theorbo, an imposing-looking long-necked bass lute.
The concert takes place on Saturday, January 22 at 8:00 PM at St. Paul’s United Church, 349 Waverley Street, Thunder Bay. Admission is by donation at the door (suggested $15 adult, $10 senior! /student), and everyone is welcome. For more information please call 285-1985 or 345-5864.
