Italia Mia:
Diverse Voices of the Late Renaissance

May 11 & 12, 2024
Redeemer Presbyterian Church

This concert explores some of the underrepresented music of 16th century Italy. We will feature works by the first published black composer, Vicente Lusitano, as well as music by Maddalena Casulana, the first woman composer to have an entire book of her music published. In addition to a few works by popular masters like Monteverdi, we will feature works by Salomone Rossi, an Italian Jewish violinist and composer who, like Monteverdi, was a transitional figure between the late Italian Renaissance period and early Baroque.

Included with your ticket: a special pre-concert lecture given by KMFA host Sara Schneider called "Amor, Fortuna: A celebration of music, love, and Renaissance humanism in honor of Francesco Petrarca". Join us 45 minutes before the start of each concert for this exciting talk!
