Monteverdi Vespers
The Musica Sacra concert series presents Monteverdi's famous 1610 Vespers to mark the 400th anniversary of its publication.
The 10 solo voices of Baroque Voices will sing the psalms and the concertos, accompanied by Academia Sanctae Mariae playing cornets and sackbuts, violins, theorbos, recorders, organs and harpsichord. A total of 30 singers and players will be involved, mostly from Wellington, but including some from Auckland and Christchurch, and one from Melbourne.
St Mary of the Angels choir will sing the plainsong antiphons, but the psalm settings will be sung one voice to a part: the way (as foremost scholars agree) in which it was conceived. This will be the first opportunity to hear it in this format.
Visit www.vespers400.org.nz for more information and to pre-book your tickets online (door-sales also available). If you would like to make a donation, please email us at
