The Golden Age
Join Skipton Choral Society for a Baroque spectacular featuring pieces from Italian masters Monteverdi, Scarlatti and Pergolesi.

Pergolesi’s ‘Confitebor tibi Domine’ deserves much more recognition than it gets, truly rivalling the better-known ‘Gloria’ by Vivaldi in both quality and exuberance, while Alessandro Scarlatti’s Magnificat takes us all the way from heart-wrenching opening chords through dances and chorales to a thrilling fugal ‘Amen’.

Full programme:
A Scarlatti
Magnificat
Monteverdi Beatus vir
