BEMF Vocal & Chamber Ensembles: Monteverdi: Here I am, ready for kisses!

GRAMMY-winning Musical Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs lead the all-star Boston Early Music Festival Vocal & Chamber Ensembles in selections from Monteverdi’s late vocal works on the subject of love. Monteverdi is at the height of his powers as he explores the vast breadth of emotions that love inspires, ranging from soaring passion to desperate laments.

The program features an outstanding roster of singers, including GRAMMY-winning tenor Aaron Sheehan, GRAMMY-nominated soprano Teresa Wakim, soprano Danielle Reutter-Harrah, mezzo-soprano Cecilia Duarte, tenor Jason McStoots, and bass-baritone Jonathan Woody, alongside the all-star BEMF Chamber Ensemble with guest concertmaster Tekla Cunningham.
