Un Concerto per Barberini: In Stile Moderno at the 2019 BEMF Fringe


Agnes Coakley Cox, soprano
Nathaniel Cox, cornetto
Ben Katz, harpsichord


In the 1620s, Francesco Barberini was one of the most powerful men in Rome. At the age of 26 he was made a cardinal by his uncle, Pope Urban VIII, and he used his money and influence to become one of the leading art patrons of his day. Among the many artists in his employ were the harpsichordist Girolamo Frescobaldi and the theorbist Hieronymus Kapsberger. These two virtuosi were considered the leading performers on their respective instruments and were both skilled and innovative composers. In addition to solo music for harpsichord and theorbo, this program features instrumental canzone, sacred motets, and secular monody.


In Stile Moderno is pleased to appear on the Boston Early Music Festival Fringe and proud to be part of Boston's thriving early music scene! Welcome, friends old and new!


Admission is by suggested donation of $20 regular / $10 reduced income, or what you can afford.

In Stile Moderno is an ensemble for early music, founded in Basel, Switzerland in 2012 by soprano Agnes Coakley and lutenist/cornettist Nathaniel Cox. Named after the "modern style" of music which emerged in Italy around 1600, the ensemble is dedicated to music of the seventeenth century, and combines fidelity to historical performance practice with a drive to make early music accessible and relevant to modern audiences. Both as a lute and voice duo and in larger formations with cornetto, organ, voice, and plucked instruments, In Stile Moderno has charmed audiences with their engaging performances of seventeenth-century music in Boston, Vermont, and New York, as well as in concert series in Switzerland, Germany, and France. 2018-2019 marked the ensemble's first full season of concerts in Cambridge, MA and Brattleboro, VT.
