Vanitas, from illusion to redemption. Time passing
Concert-walk
La Cetra d’Orfeo and the soprano Anne Hélène Moens are inviting the public to a concert-walk which will create a dialogue between music and painting, by exploring a universal theme : time passing
Looking at the works of art, you will – thanks to the commentaries given by an art historian- understand the complexity of this iconography depicted in 17th century still-lives.
The musicians (playing on ancient instruments) will make you hear how this melancholic feeling inspired European composers such as Thomas Campion, Philipp Heinrich Erlebach or Stefano Landi.
The Passion, virtuosity and baroque ornementation expressed in the arias of Girolamo Frescobaldi or Arcangello Corelli and played on the harpsicord responds those of the paintings of that same period.
And finally, in front of Rubens’ works you’ll discover the antidote to human despair – as suggested by the catholic Church- : an exemplary life leading to redemption. Excerpts of Giacomo Carrissimi and Vivaldi’s cantatas will evoke the role played by Virgin Mary in this quest.
