Folger Consort Artistic Director Robert Eisenstein leads a lively virtual seminar that offers a sneak peek at the music performed in the Folger Consort’s upcoming concert Virtuosos of Violin and Verse with DC-based poet, author, and actor Rose Solari.
About the concert
In a collaboration with Folger Poetry, Folger Consort will be joined by poet, author, and actor Rose Solari for a performance across the centuries in words and music.
Among the highlights of this program are songs and cantatas by Barbara Strozzi, violin music of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the lyric verse of 16th-century poet Torquato Tasso, which inspired a number of Baroque composers.
