CONCERT 6

Schütz in Venice:  Worship in a Time of Plague
*CD release concert

Featuring music composed and published during the German composer's visit to Venice in 1629. The 1630 plague outbreak in Northern Italy devastated Venice: one third of the population succumbed to disease. With obvious parallels to the present day, we explore expressions of faith set to music by Schütz and his Venetian contemporaries Monteverdi, Grandi, and Cifra.

CONCERT 7

"The Kapellmeister of Dresden" (Kaffeemusik)

"Toronto Chamber Choir (TCC) Presents:

"The Kapellmeister of Dresden" (Kaffeemusik) in collaboration with SchützFest 350

Featuring Peter Tiefenbach, actor

More than half a century after the TCC’s first performances of the music of Heinrich Schütz, the choir is proud to partner with SchützFest350 in presenting a new Kaffeemusik that takes a bird’s-eye view of Schütz’s life and career. We’re especially pleased to announce that, by special arrangement, the Kapellmeister himself will be making a special appearance! The elderly Schütz will regale us with tales from his long and storied life while the TCC sings works from across his vast oeuvre, from the Italian madrigals of his student days in Venice to profound unpublished works from his final years."
