MONTEVERDI’S VESPERS of 1610
Special guests:
Kerry Bursey, tenor
Rosa Barocca
Opening the season is a “cannot miss” event: Monteverdi’s rarely performed 1610 Vespero della Beata Vergine. Considered groundbreaking and a masterpiece of the early Baroque, it includes virtuosic vocal and instrumental writing and ornamentation in combination with opulent antiphonal choruses and intimate solos, duets and trios. The Bella will be reverberating in this unforgettable season launch as Luminous Voices is joined by Rosa Barocca and specialized instrumentalists from across the continent.

Lawrence Wiliford, tenor
Luminous String Ensemble
Composers: Jesse Plessis, Sonny-Ray Day Rider and Zachary Wadsworth
New works by Southern Alberta composers Jesse Plessis and Sonny-Ray Day Rider are featured alongside a reprise of Zachary Wadsworth’s The Far West. premiered by LV in 2014 and winner of the National Choral Award for "Outstanding Choral Composition" from Choral Canada in 2016.

LAMENTATIONS
Friday, April 18, 2025 at 7:30pm
Janet Kuschak, cello
Wendy Markosky, organ
This intimate performance for Good Friday highlights monumental works by Tallis, Bach & Howells. Opening with Knut Nystedt’s ode to Bach, Komm süsser Tod, the program transitions to Thomas Tallis’s stunning Lamentations of Jeremiah I. In the last of our series of Bach motets started in 2013, we will perform his iconic Jesu Meine Freude, featuring 11 movements of chorales, choruses and solo trios. The concert concludes with Herbert Howells’ Requiem, an introspective and contemplative work that exploits the full range of vocal harmonic colours that are a signature of Luminous Voices.
