Carnegie Hall Presents

Early Music in Weill Recital Hall

Audiences with an ear for Bach, Monteverdi, Couperin, and Marais will be drawn to this year's series. And if that interest includes their lesser-known predecessors and contemporaries Hume, Phinot, Kerll, and Wert, among others, then there's no better place to be. Come enjoy some of the best practitioners of this scintillating music, as well as free refreshments and conversation after the concerts.

At Carnegie Hall, he plays the harpsichord, performing music by Froberger, Kerll, Couperin, and Bach.

The singers of I Fagiolini are both excellent interpreters of Renaissance vocal music and “achingly funny” performers with an “Eddie Izzard–like” stage presence (The Scotsman). On this program, the “lively, imaginative, even anarchic” (BBC Music) group presents a musical banquet of Renaissance vocal styles with imaginative stagings and engaging presentation.
