Spiritual, weightless, luminous: the Swiss vocal ensemble Voces Suaves, recent recipients of the prestigious Diapason d’Or recording prize, cultivate a very special sound ideal. Joining forces with the instrumental ensemble Concerto Scirocco – which has also won multiple prizes – they will adorn our Baroque Weekend with Marian hymns by Alessandro Scarlatti, Agostino Steffani and Alessandro Melani – euphonious works that attest to the period’s deep devotion to the Virgin Mary.
