Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, joined by the Choir of the Enlightenment, will transport audiences back 400 years when
they hear Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 as the piece was originally experienced – played on instruments as old as the music itself.
This unfalteringly experimentalist classical ensemble orchestra promises an evening that will transport you back to the earliest
days of St Paul’s.
This performance of Monteverdi’s extraordinary religious composition promises an even more sublime experience, as London’s leading
period orchestra perform live inside St Paul’s - a Cathedral as impressive as St Mark’s Basilica in Venice, for which Monteverdi
conceived this piece.
