il Pomo d’Oro Choir

A Venetian Christmas resounds in il Pomo d’Oro’s unmissable seasonal celebration, crammed with songs of praise and exquisite choral prayers written for or inspired by St Mark’s in Venice. Its majestic programme traces the lineage of composers who studied there with the Basilica’s organist, Giovanni Gabrieli, Alessandro Grandi and Heinrich Schütz among them, and the direct influence of its greatest musician of all, Claudio Monteverdi, over Giovanni Rovetta and Francesco Cavalli.
