Programme Note

We are delighted to welcome Gawain Glenton to direct a programme of choral music from the Austrian Habsburg court, seat of the Holy Roman Emperors.  The full programme will include multivoice works of Gombert, Valentini, Hassler, both Gabrielis, Zanotti, Bertali and Massaino  among others, ranging over almost 200 years of  Habsburg rule from Vienna.   In addition to voices we will have a team of sackbuts from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, under their tutor Emily White,  with violins to add texture and colour to this amazing repertoire.
