MUSIC APPRECIATION LECTURE

The foundation of classical music: Claudio Monteverdi

€ 20,00

Classical music is such an enormous and protean tradition. Is it even imaginable pointing out a single artist as a father figure of it all?

It is, indeed: Claudio Monteverdi is the titan standing at the origin, the engineer of the crucial historical swing between archaic pre-baroque music and what we commonly name „classical music“ today.

How could a single man be protagonist of a change this profound? Who was he in the first place and what music did he leave to us?
We will answer these questions and get to know one of the most remarkable artists Europe has ever seen.
