Monteverdi’s Vespers (1610) is a seminal work of the early Baroque and is Benson Choral Society’s choice for their winter concert. Musical Director Thomas Neal is steeped in this music and brings an authentic period performances,with the Ensemble Pro Victoria as vocal solists, the Monteverdi String Band, and His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts the pioneering British early music brass ensemble specialising in historically informed performances of this period. We will be in the historic and atmospheric setting of Dorchester Abbey, whose tower was rebuilt only a few years before Monteverdi composed this piece. Some of the soloists will be spread round the Abbey, adding to the dramatic effect.
The concert will be on Saturday 5 December at 7.30pm. It promises to be a performance to remember, so book now, first come, first served! Tickets are £23 reserved, £20 unreserved, £12 u/21 at www.bensonchoralsociety.org.uk
