The Ensemble Vocal Philae, led by conductor Cédric Dosch, invites you on an Italian journey through refined madrigals that put into words and music the torments and joys of life and love.
Indeed, it was in Northern Italy during the Renaissance that a new musical style developed: the madrigal. It set to music the poems of Petrarch and Tasso in an intense expression of amorous emotions. After 1600, it evolved between the musical audacity of Gesualdo and the innovations of Monteverdi, heralding the arrival of opera and the Baroque.
From Casulana to Strozzi, via Gesualdo, Marenzio and Monteverdi, the T'amo mia vita program will be accompanied by an ensemble of instrumentalists playing Baroque instruments.
