Repast Baroque
Rosalia: Festival of Roses
Repast Baroque presents the 2024–2025 season as a fête of Feast Days celebrating holidays through music. May brings Rosalia, the Festival of Roses, during which Romans memorialized their ancestors by adorning their tombs with flowers as a symbol of rejuvenation, rebirth, and memory. Soprano Margot Rood, violinist Rebecca Nelson, and theorbist Adam Cockerham join Repast for the closing concert of the season which embraces love, loss, and remembrance with stunning works by Henry Purcell, Isabella Leonarda, Barbara Strozzi, Marieta Prioli, and Diego Ortiz.
