What are days for? To wake us up. To put between the endless nights. What are the nights for? To slip through time into another world.
-- Laurie Anderson
Under a waning half-moon and the watchful eyes of the river guards, six boats glide through twilight into darkness. Their illuminating lanterns cast shadows onto the water's surface and the reedy riverbanks; the night air is filled with the sweet sound of baroque music.
Every boat hosts a different ensemble. Together, they illustrate the musical depth and range of the European Baroque era. At certain points, they come to rest, inviting the audience to hear them up close. They can be heard from the riverbanks, the ports and locks or, in another boat, from on the river itself.
In our boat, Gli aeronauti di Monteverdi (lisa Solomon, Lea Völzer, Julie Comparini, Matthew Glandorf, and Alexander Schuhmann) sing madrigals by Claudio Monteverdi under the direction of Matthew Glandorf.
