| All-male vocal ensemble Profeti della Quinta creates vivid and expressive performances while focusing on the vocal repertoire of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Founded in the Galilee region of Israel by bass singer and harpsichordist Elam Rotem, the ensemble now resides in Basel, Switzerland. The core ensemble includes countertenor, tenor, and bass singers, who perform either a cappella or together with period instruments. For their Austin debut, Profeti della Quinta explores the many-faceted art of 17th century Jewish-Italian violinist and composer Salomone Rossi, who was a transitional figure between the late Italian Renaissance and early baroque period. |
