Newberry Consort: In the Castle of the Moon


  • Chicago, IL United States (map)

The Newberry Consort opens its 37th season with the delightful music of Sophie Elisabeth, Duchess of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Described by her teacher Heinrich Schütz as “the incomparably perfect princess in all other princely virtues, especially in the praiseworthy profession of music,” Sophie Elisabeth (1613-1676) was a composer, poet, translator, arts patron, and impresario who transformed Lower Saxony into a thriving center for music and the humanities. Her musical talents and patronage made her famous during her lifetime and influenced early Baroque music in Germany for years to come.
