CML celebrates Monteverdi

It's 400 years since Monteverdi's famous 1610 Vespers of the Blessed Virgin were published in Venice, and to mark the occasion Collegium Musicum of London is presenting a performance of unrivalled passion and authenticity.

The Church of Our Most Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell is the setting for an evening of monumental choral music, where the choir will be joined by the highly acclaimed English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble, leading specialists in baroque brass and keyboard performance.

In Monteverdi's unique work, awe-inspiring choral writing contrasts with the seductive lyricism of the solo voices. The concert also marks the début of BBC prize-winning conductor Russell du Plessis, as CML's new Musical Director.

Completing the picture are a talented group of soloists: Philippa Murray, Lucy Page (sopranos); Tom Raskin, John McMunn (tenors); Chris Jacklin, Christian Goursaud (basses).

John McMunn Philippa Murray Tom Raskin Lucy Page

Famed for its Italianate, baroque-inspired interior and impressive acoustic,  Holy Redeemer is situated in lively Clerkenwell, and will provide a dramatic backdrop for Monteverdi's masterpiece.

Why not book a table for dinner before or after the concert in one of the many fine restaurants nearby - making it a truly memorable evening?
