Week Two of Seraphic Fire’s Enlightenment Festival features the music of Martines, Mozart, and Haydn.
Explore the vibrant works of Marianna Martines, a star of Viennese Classical music. A pupil of Franz Joseph Haydn and duet partner to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Martines’ music radiates simplicity and elegance. In a concert featuring chorus and period orchestra, we highlight the modern world premiere of Martines’ O, Virgo, cui salutem, alongside bedrock works by Haydn Mozart, including the ravishing “Laudate Dominum” from the Vesperae solennes de confessore.
