Note from the Host: "Join us for an unforgettable musical and poetic journey dedicated to the 700th year anniversary of Dante's passing, broadcast from the beautiful antique titular Church of St. Crisogono in the historical center of Rome. The Church is located directly behind Dante's home in Rome, so it is very likely he often visited this very ancient church and could even hear the music made within it from his window....
"Soprano Natalia Pavlova will be accompanied by a beautiful historical organ played by Alessandra Ciccaglioni, and along with guitarist Alessandro Danieli they will draw you into a world of sacred Italian music of the Renaissance and Baroque, including rare arias by Frescobaldi, Claudio and Tarquinio Merula, Legrenzi, Cavazzini, Monteverdi, Rossi, Vivaldi, and the works of J.S. Bach and Handel.
"Accompanying the music, Italian poet Biaggio Propato will read the poems of Dante from The Divine Comedy and The New Life, specifically passages that include his reflections on music. In addition there will be a special guest: Italian guitarist and composer Enrico Cresci, who will perform his new compositions with melodies drawn from and inspired by medieval music."
The livestream will take place at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific.
