Ensemble Colla Voce presents a fresh look at St. Cecilia. More than just the patron saint of music, St. Cecilia was also one of the earliest female Christian martyrs. This programme explores and celebrates her powerful story of martyrdom, sainthood, and comes to a rousing finish with music composed for her feastday, November 22. Featuring sacred and secular works for voices and continuo by Campra, Jacquet de la Guerre, Monteverdi, and Purcell.
Ensemble Colla Voce is: Martha Sullivan and Amaranta Viera, sopranos, with Paolo Bordignon, organ; Carlene Stober, viola da gamba; and Charles Weaver, lute and theorbo.
