A stunning program of consort music featuring music by John Jenkins, Matthew Locke, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Diego Ortiz, Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger, and Claudio Monteverdi.

A cornucopia of early delights from the 17th and 18th centuries, with a sprinkling of music composed especially for Advent and Christmas.

Constantinople and guest soprano Suzie LeBlanc reinvent the cantatas of 17th-century singer and composer Barbara Strozzi, a worthy heiress of Monteverdi, who created a secular vocal repertoire that intoxicates the senses. Metamorfosi Musicali also features instrumental works of Johannes Kapsberger, whose spontaneous phrasing and sharp contrasts provide fertile ground for Constantinople’s improvisations.
