Folly, insanity, madness — these altered mental states inspired some of the most lively inventions in music during the renaissance and baroque eras. From variations over folia bass lines, to improvisatory tarantellas that could supposedly cure spider-induced insanity, to mad songs and rage scenes, Sospiri will explore the gamut of madness in music. Guiding this exploration will be the titular character from Erasmus' In Praise of Folly, brought to life by Jake Endres. Reception to follow.
