Scherzi Forestieri
The first concert of our 2015-2016 Montreal season!
Milan, 1614: Giovanni Antonio Cangiasi, a Franciscan monk, died in the prime of his life at age 24. This concert offers a bouquet of his most beautiful 4-part canzonas taken from his only collection of instrumental pieces, titled “Scherzi forestieri”. The concert will be interspersed with sublime madrigals and diminutions, arranged by Flûte Alors! to give a new perspective on old music.
