Tenet presents three programs to help you scape our bustling city in a candlelit chapel. Each program starts with a quiet moment of meditation followed by music by French Baroque composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier and his contemporaries set to sacred texts that explore litanies, lessons, and laments. Designed to ease your mind at the week’s end, each program lasts 60 minutes and prepares you for an evening of relaxation.
Stagioni d’Amore (Seasons of Love) brings the music of Claudio Monteverdi and Salamone Rossi together in a dramatic tribute to love for every season of the year. Tenet’s performers explore love’s emotional highs and lows through madrigals ranging from sprightly to tormented in nature, impassioned arias, and instrumental interludes. You’ll take in beautiful sounds while being immersed in gorgeous renaissance art-filled projections by designer Camilla Tassi.
