First performed in 1589 for the spectacular Florentine wedding of Ferdinando de’ Medici to Christine de Lorraine, La Pellegrina is a musical masterpiece of spectacular dimensions. A stellar ensemble of over fifty performers including choir, soloists, and a full orchestra of period instruments, including viols, cornettos, sackbuts, and lutes, gathered from across the country.
Lawrence Rosenwald, renowned Wellesley linguist and poet, will create and perform an original poetic narrative. Sara Hessel Schneider, host of KMFA’s Ancient Voices, will present the pre-concert lectures.
