Philippe Jaroussky

Lovers of the countertenor voice are guaranteed a rare thrill as the young French star Philippe Jaroussky joins forces with period ensemble L'Arpeggiata directed by Christina Pluhar to explore the richly extravagant world of late-Renaissance Italy. Straddling the worlds of basilica and piazza, music both sacred and secular by Monteverdi and his school will dazzle and delight in equal measure. Include works by Strozzi, Cazzati, Sances, Bertali, Murcia and Falconieri. (Note: lasts approximately 85 minutes without an interval.)
