Incantare and The Newberry Consort close their 2023-2024 seasons with Renaissance music influenced by the life and art of Venetian painter Jacopo Tintoretto, presented in collaboration with Incantare. This visually and aurally sumptuous program explores music by Italian composers from the Venetian School, juxtaposing musical works by Andrea Gabrieli, Gioseffo Zarlino, Nicola Vicentino, Leonora Orsina, Madalena Casulana, Diego Ortiz, and Giovanni Priuli against visual art by Tintoretto and other Venetian artists such as Titian, Veronese, Bellini, and Bassano. A mixture of opulent antiphonal works for instruments and voices balances small-scale improvisatory solos, dances, and canzonas that mirror the richly-hued textures of the paintings.

EXILE: Music of the Early Modern Jewish Diaspora explores the influences of Italian, German, and eastern European music and Jewish culture, highlighting Jewish musicians, the non-Jewish composers they influenced, and composers who inspired innovations in Jewish composition. Featuring composers such as Rossi, Vierdanck, Monteverdi, and others, this program highlights the mutual influences of the early modern European Jewish experience, breaking down preconceptions of Jewish music and culture and exploring the implications of diaspora on Jewish artistic legacy.

One of Incantare’s most popular programs, EXILE has been touring throughout the United States since 2021. This program welcomes 4 guest singer specialists to the core instrumental ensemble of 2 Baroque violins, 3 sackbuts (Baroque trombones), and chamber organ. Incantare is also thrilled to partner with The Temple-Congregation Adath Israel Brith Sholom, Congregation Adath Jeshurun, and Keneseth Israel Congregation, whose cantors will join us in Louisville for Salamone Rossi’s beautiful double-choir version of Ein Keloheinu.

Our Louisville and Kentucky performances are generously sponsored by a grant from the Jewish Heritage Fund. We are pleased to offer free admission to these concerts.

Originally debuted at our very first concert at the Twin Cities Early Music Festival in 2018, this program pays homage to the after-effects of the Thirty Years’ War on composition and culture in seventeenth-century Germany. The program illuminates the music of lesser-known wartime and postwar composers: the refugees Heinrich Grimm and Andreas Hammerschmidt, the British immigrant William Brade and his close multi-instrumentalist colleague Johann Schop, the controversial Johann Rosenmüller, and Johann Vierdanck, star musician of the Dresden court; as well as Johann Rudolph Ahle, whose style directly influenced Bach and the subsequent high Baroque. Their music creates a bright path that leads through and beyond a period of impenetrable darkness.
