Voices of Music presents The Voice of the Viol: Petrucci—the first music printer

Presented by Voices of Music

Voice of the Viol with Danielle Reutter-Harrah 2025

In 1501, Ottaviano Petrucci changed the course of music forever. With the invention of music printing, the sounds of Josquin, Isaac, and Marchetto Cara could travel farther and shine brighter than ever before — sparking a new era of musical beauty and innovation.

Step into the sound world of the early Renaissance with a luminous program of vocal and instrumental works, performed on period instruments — including our stunning new set of Renaissance viols — featuring the radiant voice of Danielle Reutter-Harrah.
