On Friday 10 February at 7pm there will be a concert of works
by Heinrich Schütz. Commemorating the 350th anniversary of
his death, baroque specialists, The Brook Street Band and
tenor David de Winter bring to life the brilliant virtuosic Venetian
music of the time which the German master encountered in
Italy.
In the early 1600s, Venice was the cultural capital of the
world, boasting the likes of the artist Tintoretto, the architect
Longhena, buildings such as the impressive St Mark’s Basilica,
the famous Carnevale festival, as well as celebrated composers
and musicians. It is no wonder, therefore, that the city had
a lasting impact on the German composer Heinrich Schütz.
He spent two extended periods in Venice; the first, studying
under Giovanni Gabrieli from 1609 to 1612, and the second,
meeting and studying with the great Claudio Monteverdi in
1628. This greatly influenced Schütz’s music as he absorbed
and combined the ornate, florid and theatrical Venetian
compositional techniques with the more understated Lutheran
tradition, resulting in a wonderfully unique musical style. Tickets
