For centuries, many of the most storied choral and instrumental works were written, performed, and championed in one Italian city state: VENICE. Joined by a professional string ensemble, Cantare and Cantando will turn the clock back to the musical world of the 1600s and 1700s and explore the stories of Venice’s great musicians.
