Annotation

Just as St Clare’s Chapel looks down upon the Troja Chateau from the nearby hill in Prague, the charming city of Naples stretches under the surveillance of Mount Vesuvius. Santa Chiara – whose large monastery and church are situated at the heart of Naples – is, of course, the one who connects the two places.

 

In this programme, we will be invited to the vortex of the city’s musical life in the Baroque times. Our guides will be a foursome of exquisite musicians:  English virtuoso on historical harps, Sarah Louise Ridy, Belgian soprano Lore Binon and her two compatriots, Jowan Merckx on the bagpipe and Sofie Vanden Eynde on theorbo.

 

They will take us on tour of the crooked alleys filled with music by Falconieri, Da Nola or Trabaci, all from Naples, and their art of improvisation will come in useful especially as they perform the comical villanellas that are so closely linked with Napule, as the locals call their city.
