Venetian Christmas Greatest Hits! With 'Cancionero de Upsala'
Venice, Italy, a center of Mediterranean trade and Renaissance culture, produced many new styles of magnificent music. The Tensho Embassy, the first Japanese Christian delegation to be sent to Europe in 1582, visited Venice and must have heard music there. This concert features Christmas music from Venice's golden age, as well as contemporary Christmas songs accompanied by period instruments.
The early music ensemble Concerto Leonorso, made up of young musicians who studied in Basel, Paris and Lyon, will present Christmas music from Venice.
