Join us for our 55th season, featuring:

Chiaroscuro: Darkness and Light in Renaissance Works

This winter, The Canby Singers will present Chiaroscuro. Chiaroscuro: a. the arrangement or treatment of light and dark parts in a pictorial work of art, or b. the interplay or contrast of dissimilar qualities (as of mood or character). This artistic innovation, promulgated by Caravaggio, spread rapidly throughout Europe, influenced Rafael and Rembrandt among others, and introduced the Baroque Period. The second definition is especially relevant to the co-evolution in musical composition. In this program, The Canby Singers demonstrate how late Renaissance composers used musical dissimilarities of mood and character and helped move music into its Baroque Period. Please join us for this concert featuring Monteverdi, Lassus, Schein and Hassler.
Tickets in Manhattan: $20 ($15/seniors & students)
