Fourth Wall Ensemble
Christopher Allen, conductor

Ensemble

Rob Kapilow and the celebrated 12-singer vocal group Fourth Wall Ensemble explore the life and career of Claudio Monteverdi – the key transition figure from Renaissance to Baroque music – through his dazzling madrigals. These compelling, deeply emotional choral works used music to illustrate the emotion of a work’s text in revolutionary ways that laid the groundwork for musical forms that still resonate today. The road to modern vocal music begins with Monteverdi’s extraordinary madrigals.
