Programme Note
Taking inspiration from the De Profundis letter written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment for ‘gross indecency’, this programme explores themes of love, isolation and redemption in an absorbing journey of words and music.
Poetry and prose from the 17th century to the modern day mix with solo songs by Purcell and two deeply searching De profundis psalm settings by Bach and Zelenka.
“An exceptional evening” ★★★★The Observer
“Vache Baroque has, once again, shown itself to be a class act and its flair for cultural synthesis and musical excellence makes this one of the UK’s hottest groups” Opera Today
“A richly satisfying evening” ★★★★ Plays to See
