The earliest music for violin at the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque were arrangements of vocal music to which the performers added improvised, virtuosic ornamentation, so-called diminutions. You are in for a virtuosic firework—set off upon fascinating early 17th-century masterworks by female composers Caterina Assandra, Sulpitia Cesis, Alba Tressina, and Claudia Rusca—by our concert master Manami Mizumoto and Will Copeland, accompanied by lute and our fabulous new organ.
