“You never die nor languish, but brief is the glory of your fire.”

Colourful and exciting madrigals for voices and instruments by 17th-century composers including Claudio Monteverdi and Barbara Strozzi explore love with all its highs and lows, humour, joy, passion and pain. In these theatrical works - just a small step from opera - the genre of the madrigal has come a long way from its origins as music for the home. This tour continues the series of concert tours by Helsingin kamarikuoro and Finnish Baroque Orchestra started by the Messiah concerts in December 2024.

The concert tour is part of the Lähelle project.
