Marc-Antoine Charpentier, born the year of Monteverdi’s death, lived in the shadow of his great contemporary Jean-Baptiste Lully. His music, however, was written with both an elegance and dramatic joie-de-vivre that is characteristic of French music to this day. Calgary audiences will be thrilled by the beauty and grace of Charpentier’s Mass for 8 voices, violins & flutes. The dramatic string playing will be handled by some of Alberta’s finest baroque musicians and guests from across the country.
