Musica Nova: Music in Venice from Willaert to Monteverdi

The installation of Adrian Willaert as maestro di cappella at the Basilica of St. Mark in Venice in 1527 was one of the most consequential hirings in 16th-century European music, beginning a succession of highly-regarded holders of positions at the Basilica, including the Gabrielis and Monteverdi. Join us as we explore the history of music-making in Venice from the time of Willaert's reforms to the last gasps of the stile antico.
