On Sunday January the 17th join soprano Natalia Pavlova, Persian cellist Nasim Saad, and organist Alessandra Ciccaglioni as they draw us into a world of sacred vocal and organ music from the Italian baroque to the present.
This musical journey is dedicated to the Week of Prayer, and will be broadcast from the beautiful antique titular Church of St. Marcellus in the center of Rome. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an ecumenical observance in the Christian calendar that is celebrated throughout the world. It is held annually between Ascension Day and Pentecost in the Southern Hemisphere and between 18th and and 25th of January in the Northern Hemisphere.
The artists will perform the organ music of Girolamo Frescobaldi, very rare arias from the Italian baroque tradition by G. B. Pergolesi, G. Legrenzi, A. Caldara, N. Porpora, as well as works by J.S. Bach, W. A. Mozart, Nino Rota, D. Shostakovich, as well as contemporary pieces by Iraida Yusupova and the great Giovanni Sollima.
The livestream will take place at 12pm Eastern / 9am Pacific.
