We present our award winning program, Leonardo da Vinci: A Musical Odyssey, commemorating Leonardo 500. This is a one hour live broadcast of the music that Leonardo da Vinci would have heard in the cities in which he lived. Join us for beautiful frottole, sung poetry, music from the Medici and Sforza courts, the circle of Isabella d’Este, and the chansons from da Vinci’s final years in France. Stefanie True, Soprano; Deborah Rentz-Moore, mezzo soprano. And many more. Select "English United States" closed captions (CC) for song translations.

This program will be broadcast in 4K ultra high definition video.
