Commencing with a love-sick cry to the stars in Monteverdi’s madrigal Sfogava con stelle, this collaborative program between new music Ensemble Ipse and early music group Repast Baroque explores themes of novelty and innovation spanning from the 16th-century philosophy of music of the spheres to Science Fiction and technology of our modern age alongside new works by Molly Herron, Judith Berkson, Joseph Di Ponio, Stephanie Griffin, and Max Duykers.
