Tonight’s programme traverses a huge range of styles and expression, from Leonarda’s baroque sonata through to the playfulness of Stravinsky and Milhaud. The ensemble has linked the theme of flight with that of exile.  All the composers in the programme have experienced a form of exile: Ukrainian composer Silvestrov and Jewish composer Milhaud were exiled by war, Russian composers Auerbach and Stravinsky sought artistic freedom, while Ustvolskaya’s constant search for an authentic voice led her to cut herself off from everyone and everything.

The Early Baroque era of Italian music brought a zenith of dramatic and technical display in the hands of new generations of virtuoso singers and instrumentalists. Composers and performers united in their course of revealing new depths of expression, color, and theatrical effects through music that is immediately thrilling and enthralling.  From the delicate and spatial interplay of three violins in Marini’s Sonata in Ecco to the full-throated and lovelorn dramatic vocal works of Monteverdi — including two epic narratives from his Madrigals of Love and War — this is a program that moves from mystery to magic and from the sacred to the secular.  Headliner works are Isabella Leonarda’s entrancing Sonata XII, Monteverdi’s Magnificat a 6 from the Vespers of 1610, and the same composer’s powerfully arresting setting of Torquato Tasso’s Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda. An ensemble of evocative ABS artists brings this passionate music to light in a program featuring vocal and violinistic fireworks.
