Monteverdi Vespers of 1610

Voices of Ascension, the New York City-based professional chorus dedicated to sharing the transformative power of choral music through performances, commissions, and community engagement, collaborates with Dark Horse Consort to perform Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 on Thursday, March 5, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. at The Church of the Ascension in Greenwich Village. With a fleet of soloists, double chorus, Early Music strings, recorders, cornetti, sackbuts, theorbos, harpsichord, and organ, Dark Horse Consort and Voices of Ascension join forces in a thrilling intersection of scholarship and expressive brilliance for this pillar of Early Baroque music. Vespers of 1610 is rarely performed at such a large scale—featuring multiple choirs, a full roster of period instruments, and soloists—especially in a sacred acoustic like the Church of the Ascension.
