Its architecture owed nothing to the Roman past\, or\, for that matter\, to Northern Gothic building styles. It was exotic\, being influenced by the East as much as the West. Its visual appeal was matched by the sounds that it made. There were the impressive outdoor processions of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco\, and the raucous celebrations during the Carnival season. There were the new public opera houses\,  the overwhelmingly beautiful singing which resounded in the churches and ospidale\, and the private recitals to be heard in grand houses. \nFrom the soul-stirring notes of Monteverdi to the vibrant melodies of Castello and Marini\, this concert promises an unforgettable journey through time. Soprano Emily Noël and lutenist Michael Leopold will join our regular ensemble of Elizabeth Blumenstock and Stephen Redfield\, violin; Mary Springfels\, viola da gamba; and Kathleen Macintosh\, harpsichord; in bringing these works to life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”16899″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text] \nEmily Noël\nSoprano \n[/vc_column_text]Read Bio\n\n	\n		\n			\n			 \nEmily Noël\n  \nSoprano Emily Noël has appeared as a soloist with many leading early music ensembles\, including The Folger Consort\, The Gabrieli Players\, and the Washington Bach Consort.
