Armonia Atenea, equally at home on period and modern instruments, has flourished under George Petrou’s artistic leadership.

The ensemble returns to Wigmore Hall with Xavier Sabata and a programme coloured by spectacular vocal virtuosity. The Catalan countertenor’s Bad Guys album, a homage to Handel, was hailed by the Guardian as one of ‘the most intelligent and striking recital discs of recent years’.
