Wat gaan we tijdens de ensemble zang workshop van het komend Internationaal Barok Festival Zutphen allemaal doen?
We gaan ons onderdompelen in de aangrijpende wereld van de beroemde Lamento’s van Claudio Monteverdi. We gaan werken aan het indringende Lamento d’Arianna — een van de meest expressieve stukken uit de vroege barok — en ontdekken hoe deze muziek tot leven komt, van de intieme monodie tot de rijke madrigaalversie. Een prachtige uitdaging vol muzikaal puzzelwerk en emotionele diepgang.
Voor extra afwisseling combineren we vocale en instrumentale muziek. Zo bieden de motetten van William Byrd een mooie kans om samen te werken met gamba’s, naast repertoire van tijdgenoten als John Dowland en Thomas Wilbye.
Of je nu wilt genieten van intens samenzingen, je wilt verdiepen in historische uitvoeringspraktijk, of gewoon nieuwsgierig bent naar deze rijke muziek: je bent van harte welkom. Het belooft een inspirerende en veelzijdige muzikale ontdekkingsreis te worden.
