Boston Early Music Festival Vocal & Chamber Ensembles
Paul O’Dette & Stephen Stubbs directors

Programme:
Claudio Monteverdi: Lamento d’Arianna, Zefiro torna, Lamento della Ninfa, and other scherzi and madrigals

The Boston Early Music Festival and soprano Amanda Forsythe captivated the audience at the opening night of the 2023 Musikfest when they performed Telemann’s cantata »Ino« – the accompanying CD, which was recorded at the Sendesaal in Bremen, has just won the 2026 Grammy Award for »Best Classical Solo Vocal Album«. They now pay tribute to Monteverdi, the great pioneer of theatrical music at the turn of the Renaissance to the Baroque. His sensual, entrancing music explores the delights of love and the pain of loss, achieving an unprecedented theatrical effect through its dramatic power – simply heart-renderingly beautiful!

1, 2 or 3 out of 18 – how it works

Around the market square, nine venues will each host two 45-minute concerts in three time slots. All venues have two shared intervals for spontaneous encounters and stimulating exchanges. Individual tickets can be booked for each event at a standard price of 33 euros, so you can choose for yourself whether you would like to attend one, two or three concerts to start off the festival!
