Named for the iconic bronze horses atop Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica, the Dark Horse Consort brings to life the glorious brass traditions of the late Renaissance and early Baroque. This acclaimed ensemble recreates the inspiring musical atmosphere of 16th- and 17th-century Europe with a program of majestic canzoni for multiple choirs by Giovanni Gabrieli and Giovanni Picchi, alongside stunningly virtuosic sonatas by Dario Castello. Inspired by the rapturous kaleidoscope of sound for which St. Mark’s was famous, this concert evokes the splendor and innovation of sacred music-making in churches of the time.
