Monteverdi Madrigals

Step into the charged and emotional world of Monteverdi’s Madrigals of Love and War in an intimate late-afternoon concert at Edinburgh New Town Church. Outstanding singers from the SCO Chorus Young Singers’ Programme are joined by a small SCO ensemble for a beautiful exploration of music that pulses with passion and poetry.

Drawn from Monteverdi’s groundbreaking Eighth Book of Madrigals, Altri canti d’Amor, Volgendo il ciel and Hor che'l ciel e la terra reveal a composer at the height of his expressive powers, where word and music are inseparable.

The programme is directed by Gregory Batsleer and is complemented by a selection of a cappella choral works, showcasing the versatility and expressive range of these exceptional young performers.
