#Rossi400 “The Songs of Solomon<\/span>”
Vache Baroque’s 2023 flagship project celebrates 400 years since Jewish-Italian composer Solomon Rossi published his groundbreaking collection “The Songs of Solomon” (1623).\nThis bold cultural synthesis of language and art form proved him to be an artist of great innovation.\nThrough a series of music videos, synagogue performances, a dinner-concert, and a sold-out Hanukkah concert in Westminster, central London, we presented Rossi’s life and art to audiences through film, dance, voices, instruments, books, food, sound installations, and sacred ceremony.\nOur traveling program #RossiSOS is an intimate performance of sacred and secular vocal pieces by Rossi and his contemporaries from across Europe.\nJoyful prayers, plaintive solo songs, and passionate madrigals sung by five singers in Hebrew, Italian, Latin, and English, many accompanied by a lute, will paint the musical landscape within which Rossi lived and worked.<\/span>

Vache<\/b> Baroque<\/b> is a young and ambitious nonprofit that aims to open access to Baroque music to all.
\nWe are based at The Vache, a glorious early 17th-century estate in Buckinghamshire, UK.
\nSince our launch in September 2020, we have produced a number of critically acclaimed opera productions and multidisciplinary concert projects, toured Italy, worked with over 1,000 elementary school children, and run two young artist programs for emerging singers.
\nOur goal is to tell old stories in modern ways, inspiring our artists, audiences and beneficiaries to build bridges between past and present.
\nWe passionately believe in the life-affirming and joy-inspiring nature of classical music and wish to share it as widely as possible. <\/p>\n
