    Overview

    Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent became pioneers of the Early Music Movement in the 1970s and remain leaders in the interpretation of works written long before the Industrial Revolution.

    In this concert they explore the extreme emotions and chromatic twists and turns of the mature madrigals of Carlo Gesualdo, the Italian nobleman who turned to composition soon after he took part in the murder of his wife and her lover.

    We are grateful to Dunard Fund for their generosity to the Hall and for supporting this concert.
