Followed by a wine & waters reception on the patio with the musicians

The 45th Festival closes with a rousing program of music of “the sacred and the profane.” International early-music (and contemporary music) superstars Estelí Gomez (soprano) and Cecilia Duarte (mezzo-soprano) join the Festival Chorus and Orchestra led by Blumenstock for tales and retellings of adoration and anguish in the Venetian Republic. Two of Vivaldi’s provocative secular cantatas contrast with sacred choral works by Vivaldi—his celebrated Gloria— and the “Red Priest’s” Venetian contemporary Antonio Lotti (1667-1740) whose mesmerizing Crucifixus for eight unaccompanied solo voices is not to be missed. Plus, instrumental works by Vivaldi and Locatelli.
