Christmas in Gabrieli's Venice - Pacific Northwest tour

[LeTromboniste]

Little shameless plug. Anyone in the Pacific Northwest with an interest in early brass (or early music in general) might be interested in concerts happening next week : Early Music Vancouver is bringing together a pretty awesome team of voice soloists, cornetts, sackbuts and strings for a program of (mostly) Gabrieli, led by legendary cornettist Bruce Dickey. Performances in Victoria, Seattle, Vancouver. The brass team includes several world-class players.


"Giovanni Gabrieli, who died in 1612, was without a doubt the greatest composer of the Venetian High Renaissance. We celebrate the holidays this year with music by this Venetian master, his uncle Andrea, and their contemporaries. This is music that would have echoed from the mosaic-covered vaults of Saint Mark’s Basilica as well as other Venetian churches. The program consists of motets for from two to fifteen voices, as well as dazzling sonatas and canzonas for cornetti, trombones and strings – festive music worthy of the season but also of the pomp and brilliance of the Venetian State."
