Sounds Worlds of Carlo Dolci

The Davis Museum at Wellesley College offers the unique opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of Italy with a musical performance, The Sound World of Carlo Dolci, on Friday, March 3, from 6:30 through 8 p.m. The seated concert will take place amidst the luminous devotional works of Florentine painter Carlo Dolci in the Camilla Chandler and Dorothy Buffum Chandler Gallery.

The musical program of 17th-century Italian song brings a sonic dimension to the experience of seeing the exhibition, The Medici’s Painter: Carlo Dolci and 17th- Century Florence. Featuring soprano Laurie Monahan, Laura Jeppesen on viola da gamba, and Catherine Liddell on theorbo and baroque guitar, the concert includes music by Barbara Strozzi, Vincenzo Calestani, Jacopo Peri, Girolamo Frescobaldi, and other classical composers.
