Abandonné.
Abbandonato. Verlassen. Denial, anger, depression and
acceptance the stages of grief as expressed through
the cantatas of Bach and Montéclair.
Director
Guillaume Bernardi writes:
"We
have all experienced the powerful fascination of watching
musicians playing their instruments, or singers becoming the
song. Our next concert will take you one step further: what
if the musicians suddenly stepped out of the traditional
restrictions of their roles and took over the stage? Two
powerful cantatas by Bach and Montéclair and a new
work by Scott Good for soprano and strings, all confronting
loss and death, will take you on this path. With elements of
lighting and costume, the singers and the instrumentalists
will explore the virgin territory that lies between concert
and the drama for a powerful, novel musical experience."
I
FURIOSI is comprised of Canada's finest young Baroque
Performers, I FURIOSI Baroque Ensemble embodies the spirit
of the Baroque in all of its contradictions. In an age where
ostentatious display met ascetic piety, the tenuous marriage
between the Sacred and the Profane scandalised and
intoxicated the European Nations. I FURIOSI performs the
music of Elizabeth's England, Mary's Scotland, Marie's
France, Isabella's Spain and Lucrezia's Italy with a style
both brazen and refined.
