La Bella Vita: Hidden Gems of Baroque Italy

We all want to live la bella vita: the beautiful life. Duo Seraphim explores all aspects of this beautiful life -- loving and losing, laughing and languishing — with this program of rarely-performed Italian Renaissance and Baroque gems, including newly-discovered early 17th-century works making their US premiere.

Featuring soprano Sarah Hawkey and viola da gambist Niccolo Seligmann, Duo Seraphim brings new perspectives to old repertoire, performing rarely-heard music with intimacy and verve, and approaching historical performance with masterful ease and delightful enthusiasm. We are overjoyed to share our second season with GEMS after a well-received debut last season. www.duoseraphim.com
