William Henry Curry, Resident Conductor
Ever the originators, Italian composers flourished during the Renaissance, defined opera for most of 17th and 18th centuries and inspired new innovations during the Romantic era. Here, William Henry Curry turns to this later chapter in Italy’s profound cultural influence. Discover how composers from across Europe turned Italian beginnings into a rich and alluring world of sounds.
