Past Special Concerts
January 18th, 2009: Annalisa Pappano and Ronn McFarlane performed music from Annalisa Pappano's new CD!
A recital of rarely performed Renaissance music!
Professional musician and director of the Catacoustic Consort, Annalisa Pappano recently received an individual artist grant from the City of Cincinnati to fund a solo CD recording. The recording is a compilation of rarely performed Renaissance music for the treble viola da gamba with lute accompaniment, featuring 16th and early 17th-century embellished versions of French and Italian songs. This music is highly virtuosic and no recordings currently exist. Program notes and a concert talk provided the audience with a deeper context and understanding of this rare music.
The recording was done later in the week in a professional sound studio.
