The X-tet: Sounds of Italy
An Evening of Italian Chamber Music featuring Amanda Forsythe and Cristiano Contadin.
The X-tet returns with a sweeping celebration of Italian Baroque and Renaissance music, joined by GRAMMY® award-winning soprano Amanda Forsythe and viola da gamba player Cristiano Contadin. Spanning four centuries of Italy's most treasured chamber repertoire, the ensemble brings to life virtuosic works by Vivaldi, Albinoni, Castello, and Handel alongside rarely heard gems by Maria Teresa Agnesi and Antonio Archilei.
Highlights include Handel's dramatic cantata “Armida abbandonata” and Archilei's celestial “Dalle più alte sfere,” both featuring Forsythe's celebrated voice, alongside instrumental showpieces for strings, theorbo, and harpsichord. The program concludes with a nod to folk tradition in the spirited Tarantella Gargano, before Colin Jacobsen's new work, Morgantina Studies, brings the evening to a close.
