Concerto Palatino

**Concerto Palatino** is a stellar early music ensemble that brings Renaissance and Baroque brass traditions to life with vibrant energy. Founded by cornett virtuoso Bruce Dickey and sackbut player Charles Toet, this group specializes in the rich, polychoral soundscapes of 17th-century Venice, particularly works by giants like Giovanni Gabrieli and Claudio Monteverdi. Known for their meticulous use of period instruments—think fiery cornetts and sonorous sackbuts—they’ve become legends in the early music scene, reviving forgotten masterpieces and collaborating with top vocal and instrumental ensembles to recreate grand sacred works.

Their recordings, like *Gabrieli: Sacrae symphoniae* and Monteverdi’s *Vespro della Beata Vergine*, showcase their knack for blending historical precision with dramatic flair. Whether illuminating the cosmic musical theories of Kepler or digging into festive Christmas repertoire, Concerto Palatino turns centuries-old compositions into fresh, immersive experiences. They’re basically the time-traveling brass band you never knew you needed.
