I'll be singing Tenor with the Monteverdi Consort for a perfomance of Schmelzer's wedding celebration, Missa Nuptialis.A powerful collision of cultures occurred across and around the Alps. Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, the 17th century’s greatest violin virtuoso, was a Bohemian working in Salzburg; his battle depiction (Battalia à 10) is foot-stomping fun, and in Der Nachtwachter, a nightwatchman bumbles his way through the evening in an increasingly drunken stupor!
LOBO will perform Johann Heinrich Schmelzer's depiction of Polish Bagpipes, and will join Monteverdi Consort for Schmelzer’s wedding celebration, Missa Nuptialis, featuring six voices, violin band, and viol consort.

BachGrounder: A pre-concert lecture begins 45 minutes before each show.
