SUMMARY:Dolcissima Speranza: Featuring Renowned Tenor Thomas Cooley
DESCRIPTION:The Washington Bach Consort welcomes Thomas Cooley\, the intern
 ationally acclaimed tenor whose vivid artistry and mastery of early music 
 have made him a leading interpreter of Baroque and pre‑Baroque repertoir
 e worldwide. With a career spanning more than two decades across major sta
 ges including Carnegie Hall\, the Concertgebouw\, and Berlin Philharmonie\
 , Cooley brings exceptional dramatic instinct and stylistic command to thi
 s exploration of the Baroque’s earliest flowering.\nThis richly curated 
 program traces the emergence of a new musical language in early seventeent
 h‑century Italy—from the pioneering works of Jacopo Peri\, Giulio Cacc
 ini\, and Claudio Monteverdi\, whose Seconda Prattica reshaped expressiv
 e possibility\, to the striking originality of Sigismondo d’India and Ba
 rbara Strozzi. With Cooley as guide\, audiences will encounter the intensi
 ty\, rhetorical daring\, and evolving vocal aesthetic that gave rise to th
 e Baroque.
