Florid Spirit: Carlo G and the Vibrance of Italian Ornamentation

For its premiere concert, Filigree delves into the exciting world of early music ornamentation. Inspired by the recently rediscovered Carlo G Manuscript–a treasure trove of highly ornamented early Baroque solos and duets–Filigree takes you on a journey through the Italian Baroque, infusing works by Monteverdi, Frescobaldi, and Strozzi with improvised ornamentation and stylistic fervor.

Featured as part of the Gothic Early Music Scene Midtown Concert Series.
