Overview

Specialists in themed events, the ensemble places transcribed choral works by medieval and Renaissance masters alongside instrumental compositions by the English Richard Mico (1590-1661), and a 2001 arrangement of his 15th-century Franco-Flemish predecessor by the American Charles Wuorinen (1938-2020).

This concert is part of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust ticket scheme, offering free tickets to those aged 8-25
