On 18 October 2026, a concert of sacred music by composers from the early 17th century will be held at the Church of Saints Luke and Martina in Rome, organised by the Reate Festival.
\nThe collaboration with the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca extends to one of the most evocative sites in the historic centre: the Church of Saints Luke and Martina<\/strong>, which is owned by the Accademia and situated in the heart of the Roman Forum, adorned with a dome designed by Pietro da Cortona.
\nThe concert, scheduled to coincide with St Luke\u2019s Day, will provide an opportunity to admire this architectural masterpiece \u2013 which is rarely open to the public \u2013 whilst enjoying a performance of music by composers who were contemporaries of the famous painter.<\/p>\n

Programme notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

The concert recreates the musical atmosphere of Baroque Rome, where voices and the organ engaged in daily dialogue in churches and the cardinals\u2019 chapels. The motets on the programme \u2014 by Francesca Caccini, Mazzocchi, Rossi, Carissimi, Allegri and Branco \u2014 belong to the sacred repertoire that enlivened liturgical services in the early and mid-17th century, in both Florence and Rome. The three organ pieces, on the other hand, trace a chronological arc of the great Roman school of organ playing: from Paolo Quagliati, one of the first organists active in Rome at the start of the century, through the high point represented by Girolamo Frescobaldi, organist of the Cappella Giulia in St Peter\u2019s, to Bernardo Pasquini, the direct heir to that tradition and the last great figure of the Roman organ in the second half of the 17th century. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
