The Hedgelawn Classical Series presents Sacred Monsters

Sacred Monster's name is derived from the eighteenth-century term "monstre sacré," used by the French to describe those larger-than-life performers whose eccentricities fueled their performing lives and kept their audiences engaged in their work. They take inspiration from the duality inherent in their name and aim to bring out both the sacred and the monstrous within Renaissance and Baroque music, inviting their audiences to enter with them into the sublime and grotesque world of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music.
