Next Saturday, November 15, Third Practice will perform Claudio Monteverdi’s exquisite 1610 Vespro della Beata Vergine in the context of the sacred liturgy in Washington, D.C.. The work will be performed alongside a new setting of the Litany of the Saints by Baltimore-based composer, Joshua Bornfield. This rare liturgical celebration of Monteverdi’s epic work has been made possible by a recent Kickstarter campaign.
Solemn Vespers and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will be celebrated at 7.00 p.m. at Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian, 1357 East Capitol Street SE, Washington, D.C. Free parking is available at Public Charter School, 1503 East Capitol Street SE. A retiring collection will be taken.
