As was his life, Johann Rosenmüller’s music is full of drama. His career in Germany came to an abrupt halt in 1655 when he was imprisoned on charges of scandalous behavior. He escaped and fled to Italy, where he gained fame as a composer at San Marco in Venice. At the end of his life he returned to Germany in glory as the “Amphion of his age.” Incorporating French restraint, English theatricality, Italian emotion, and the appeal of German traditional song, Rosenmüller’s music is dramatic, heartfelt, clever, and very beautiful. Ellen Hargis sings to the accompaniment of violins, violas, bass violin, and keyboard.

Tickets are $40 ($5 discount if purchased in advance) for the general public and $5 for students with valid ID.
