Vache Baroque are thrilled to present a magnificent multi-event project to commemorate 400 years since the Jewish-Italian composer Salomone Rossi published his groundbreaking collection The Songs of Solomon in 1623. This series of evening concerts will see a programme of solo and
ensemble vocal music by Rossi and his contemporaries.

From solo lute songs and captivating improvisation to expansive double-choir textures, this will be an evening of passionate contrasts.
