About Lazzuli Baroque:
Lazzuli Baroque was born as a love letter to tight soprano harmonies and raucously fun music making. Founded by soprano Roseline Lambert and mezzo-soprano Rocky Duval, the band is a delightful amalgam of sensual baroque technique and virtuosic prowess. Here to make you smile, laugh, cry, and above all, enjoy the delicious beauty of baroque music, they are joined by some of the finest early music musicians: cello player Keiran Campbell, and lute & theorbo player Luce Burrell.
