Note: Concert was cancelled because of a storm.
The struggle between Sacred and Profane Love played itself out in the churches, salons, and theaters of the Renaissance and Baroque. We bring this argument to life in selections by Bononcini centering on Mary Magdalene, the symbol par excellence of humankind’s battle to be good in spite of so many compelling reasons to be bad!
