Fieri Consort is an octet of young singers specializing in the sensuous harmony and heart-wrenching poetry of the Italian Renaissance. Tears of a Lover explores the theme of love’s torments through the work of the great composer Claudio Monteverdi, and through The Turn, a reflection on Monteverdi’s famous Lamento d’Arianna by contemporary composer Benjamin Rowarth.
