Triomphi

Francesco Petrarch, considered the founder of humanism, was the most influential poet of the Italian Renaissance. He wrote of timeless themes in his Triumphs - Love, Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, Eternity - each more powerful than the last. Our musical interpretation, created by Grant Herreid, will run the gamut of 16th century styles: from light-hearted carnival songs of the early Renaissance, through polyphonic madrigals of Cipriano de Rore and Orlando de Lassus, to the beginnings of 17th century monody. For this, our biggest program of the season, Piffaro joins forces with TENET Vocal Artists and groundbreaking visual designer Camilla Tassi in a musical, artistic, and literary exploration of human experience.

Moonlit Mozart

The music of Mozart can be revelatory – particularly when combined with period instruments’ signature transparency and rhythmic verve. Artistic Director Debra Nagy has assembled North America’s finest period-instrument woodwind players for this all-Mozart program including selections from The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni plus Mozart’s transcendent Serenade in C minor “Nachtmusik” (K388) for pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and natural horns.
