Join Cantata Singers as we delight in unexpected and vibrant associations. Schütz’s influence was long and broad, but there are many composers who weren’t particularly influenced by him, but who still thrive in his company. Monteverdi exerted his influence on young Schütz, as well as Stravinsky – two hundred years later, and Poulenc fell completely under the seductive spell of Stravinsky. But Poulenc and Schütz? An evening of musical miracles and splendid surprises!
