Lewisham Choral Society presents Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610

Lewisham Choral Society and His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts transport us back to the early 17th century with a performance of Monteverdi’s masterful Vespers of 1610.

In his dazzling vocal and instrumental writing, Monteverdi experiments with elements of Renaissance and early baroque styles. The choral sections, set for multiple voice parts, combine with glorious solos and duets featuring seven outstanding soloists.

This performance features period instruments, enabling us to imagine how this magnificent work would have sounded in Monteverdi’s day.
