Add to my Calendar 16-06-2023 19:00 16-06-2023 21:00 36 'Divine & Human' - Parnassus Ensemble Launch Concert The newly formed early music ensemble, Parnassus, along with soprano Lauren Lodge-Campbell, will present a concert of music of the German Baroque period centred around Bach’s dramatic cantata BWV 199 ‘Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut’. They will perform a wide range of secular and sacred works written for voice. These pieces will be interspersed with instrumental works that will enhance the varied affects encountered in the vocal pieces and at times will act as bridges into the following piece through improvisation, as they journey through this reflection on both the human and the divine. This project is kindly supported by the Continuo Foundation. About Parnassus Parnassus is a collaborative flexible ensemble made up of 4 core members. They are committed to exploring a wide range of repertoire through the prism of historically informed performance with the values of chamber music at the heart of everything they do. They met as part of different young artists schemes in the UK and Europe including: the Monteverdi Apprenticeship Scheme with Sir John Eliot Gardiner and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique (ORR); Collegium Vocale Gent Academy with Philippe Herreweghe and the Arcangelo New Ensemblists Programme with Jonathan Cohen. The extensive and frequent opportunities to perform together as part of these programmes lay the foundations for the formation of the enmseble. They have also received significant guidance from members of the Eroica Quartet and Chiaroscuro Quartet, groups which are the forefront of historically informed performance practice.
