A superstar of 17th-century Rome, castrato Marc’Antonio Pasqualini premiered works by Luigi Rossi, Stefano Landi, and Marco Marazzoli, and composed nearly two hundred and fifty of his own cantatas, rarely performed today. Ensemble L’Aureate recreates the rarified sounds of palatial 17th-century Rome featuring Marc’Antonio Pasqualini's three cantatas that begin with the text, "Si ch'io voglio..!"
Ensemble L’Aureate strives to amplify storytelling through the marriage of music and literature. Whether sung, recited, or set to music L’Aureate is dedicated to the musical enhancement of the spoken word. Baroque harpist, Christa Patton is joined by countertenor, Eric Brenner and keboardist, Dongsok Shin.
