Center Presents
The Monteverdi Choir and Orchestras with Masaaki Suzuki
Payne & Mencias Palladium // Sunday, Feb 14, 7pm ET
Hear one of the crowning glories of the Western canon performed by some of its foremost interpreters when the London-based Monteverdi Choir & Orchestras honors the 300th anniversary of J.S. Bach’s St Matthew Passion on a major U.S. tour. Together with soloists including Nick Pritchard, Florian Störtz and Carolyn Sampson, the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists will perform under the leadership of Masaaki Suzuki, a leading authority on baroque instrument performance and the music of Bach. Founded in 1964, the Monteverdi Choir has released over 150 recordings and is considered one of the most influential choirs in the world.
