Leonardo da Vinci: A Musical Odyssey, explores the music that da Vinci would have heard in the cities in which he lived. There is no surviving music that he played or composed, but through the writing of Giorgio Vasari and contemporaneous accounts we know that Leonardo was an acclaimed virtuoso on the lira da braccio and that he loved to accompany himself as he sang improvised poetry. Join us for our story which will take you on a journey through Leonardo’s musical world.
Featuring Lawrence Rosenwald, poet and story teller; Stefanie True, soprano;Deborah Rentz-Moore mezzo soprano;Shira Kammen, lira da braccio
