Sins of Youth, Sins of Age (Bel Canto Young Artists - All Rossini) July 14, 2011

Sins of Youth, Sins of Age presents the Caramoor Bel Canto Young Artists in a festive program of Rossini's songs and vocal chamber music. When Rossini shocked the world by retiring from opera at the age of 37, it did not mean that his creativity had run dry; decades later, as a grand old man in Paris, he produced volume after volume of miniature works in a startling variety of moods and genres. (He called these "Peches de vieillesse" - sins of old age.) Our program combines them with rarely heard early works - in some cases unknown to modern audiences - that are being prepared for publication in the Baerenreiter Rossini Edition under Philip Gossett.

Location: Spanish Courtyard.
