This intimate concert on *February 21st, 2025*, at the *First Parish in Lincoln*, features stunning works for two voices by Alessandro Scarlatti and Claudio Monteverdi—two masters of love and longing in music. *A Showcase of Scarlatti’s Genius* Prepare to be enchanted by three of Scarlatti’s most moving cantatas: - *"Bella Quanto Crudel"* – A lament of unrequited love, heartrendingly beautiful. - *"Amor vuol fermini"* – An exploration of the paradoxes of love, bittersweet and chock full of drama! - *"Clori e Lisa"* – A tale of friendship tested by love, brought to life by two intertwining voices and emotional intensity. Through his exquisite vocal writing, Scarlatti masterfully conveys the highs and lows of human emotion, exploring love as both a joy and a torment. *Monteverdi: The Madrigal’s Voice* The program also includes two stunning duets by Claudio Monteverdi: - *"O come sei gentile"* – A celebration of beauty and grace, filled with intricate, interweaving lines and interlocking harmonies. - *"Tornate, o cari baci"* – A poignant yet lively cry of longing and despair. (See video below!) Monteverdi’s groundbreaking innovations in the madrigal form bring poetry to life with word painting and dramatic contrasts - capturing love's complexities. *Your Invitation to an Extraordinary Evening* Whether you're a lover of Baroque music or someone seeking to be transported by timeless expressions of love, *The Inevitability of Love* offers an evening of beauty, passion, and artistic brilliance. 🎟️ *Reserve Your Tickets Today:* Click here to purchase your tickets <https://bostonpurcell.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb312b4e4d06c3a1f17d39970&id=4e3a0e623a&e=b05c0180c8> Join us for this unforgettable concert and let the music of Scarlatti and Monteverdi saturate the soul with... the inevitability of love!
