Programme Note
"this group (established in 2021) is unequivocally impressive, its sound invigorating, its commitment absolute" - The Guardian
Following their sold out performance of the same name at Stone Nest, FIGURE present a new programme of baroque and contemporary music.
Baroque masterpieces by Handel, Muffat, and van Wassenaer are contrasted with contemporary compositions by Caroline Shaw, Oliver Leith, and a specially commissioned world premiere by Jacob Druckman Prize winner Isabella Gellis.
