Barbara Strozzi – Past Concerts

Our annual tribute to love gone wild, love gone wrong, love gone mad, and love just plain gone. From the humorous to the pathetic, we've got it all from Monteverdi, Purcell, Strozzi, Tartini, and more.

Songs of love, passion and loss by Barbara Strozzi, Francesca Caccini, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and more, performed by soprano Linda Tsatsanis, baroque cellist Nathan Whittaker, and harpsichordist Henry Lebedinsky.

Constantinople and guest soprano Suzie LeBlanc reinvent the cantatas of 17th-century singer and composer Barbara Strozzi, a worthy heiress of Monteverdi, who created a secular vocal repertoire that intoxicates the senses. Metamorfosi Musicali also features instrumental works of Johannes Kapsberger, whose spontaneous phrasing and sharp contrasts provide fertile ground for Constantinople’s improvisations.
