Overview
Italy’s city-states and principalities proved a hotbedof creativity in the early 1600s, cultivating a vastrepertoire of solo songs and encouraging virtuosoinstrumentalists of the calibre of Piccinini andFrescobaldi.
Lawrence Zazzo, hailed by The NewYork Times as ‘a countertenor of gorgeous tone’,leads a glorious lunchtime exploration of theItalian Baroque.
