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.
