Arts & Culture Highlights
Cappella Clausura Shares a Virtual Concert
Cappella Clausura performs "Magnificat," a spectacular work by one of the most talented nuns of the Italian Baroque, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani (1602-c.1678). Cozzolani was the abbess of Santa Radegonda in Milan and composer of the Vespers of 1650, motets, and many concerti sacri for solo, duo, trio, and more. This work was recorded by each individual musician, using the conductor's video together with the continuo (theorbo) player's video. Video master, NCA Board Member Christopher Pitts, and audio engineer, James Zaner, do a masterful job of putting 18 complex parts together. Enjoy!
A great week for the NCA
