Claudio Monteverdi: Vespers (1610) (Vespro della Beata Vergine,SV 206)

Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 is a selection of psalms and hymns in honour of the Virgin Mary.  Monteverdi uses all his ingenuity and skill to create a dazzling variety of music - one of the undisputed masterpieces of the Italian renaissance.   For more information see https://opms.org.uk/event/monteverdi-vespers/

The Oxford Pro Musica Singers are joined by Oxford’s specialist early music ensemble, Instruments of Time and Truth, playing on original instruments, as well as a team of soloists.

The concert is in memory of Peter Brown who has a Tutor and Fellow in Classics at Trinity College, Oxford.  Peter was a founder member of the Oxford Pro Musica Singers, sang in the choir's first concert on 22nd November 1977, and was a faithful member until very near to his death in 2018.
