Rome, circa 1650: behind a palazzo's closed doors, candlelight, wine, and music close enough to touch. These were the conversazioni — private salons where noblewomen held court, where cardinals mingled with poets, and where a strict guest list was the only thing standing between reputation and scandal.Tonight, step into that room. Hear Monteverdi's breathless "Zefiro torna" turn from sunlit breeze to aching torment. Hear Caccini's hushed "Amarilli mia bella." Hear Barbara Strozzi — one of the century's most celebrated composers — spin grief into a hypnotic, endless bassline.
Music never meant for a concert hall. Tonight, it has one anyway.
