i bardi is a group of New York-based musicians dedicated to exploring music from the birth of the early modern era. The ensemble presents a concert of songs of love, jealousy, heartbreak, and victory from the Italian Renaissance. Dazzling madrigal diminutions by Bovicelli and Rognoni compliment arias by Mazzochi, Monteverdi, and Stefano Landi in this program designed to arouse the passions and soothe the soul.

i bardi

Holy Apostles Episcopal Church

Some of the most virtuosic and stunning music of the 17th century emerged from the practice of writing diminutions on Renaissance madrigals. The evocative madrigals, from masters like Palestrina, Cipriano de Rore, and Lassus, become greater than the sum of their parts when embellished by the likes of Rognoni and Bassano. Intermittently, we bring you songs and dances by Falconieri, Landi, and more, to cleanse the palate.
