The Torment of Love - Italian Madrigals - Tue 31 Aug to Thu 2 Sep 2010
Venue: Benslow Music Trust, Benslow Lane, Hitchin, Herts, SG4 9RB
“...Tormented woes... Perfidious beauty... Anguished delights...”. Who needs opera? Madrigals often embrace the extremes of passion in expressing the plights of unrequited love. Join our small choir - maximum twenty voices - to experience this cathartic melancholy in unaccompanied Italian madrigals by the likes of Gesualdo, Monteverdi and Palestrina under the sensitive guidance of Julian Perkins, who also promises occasional light relief in the form of some English madrigals, replete with trademark fa la las.
Resident (full board): £220.00
