Hilliard Ensemble at Wigmore Hall, 6-7 November!

Hi there!

Just posting because I thought you might be interested in this: The Hilliard Ensemble will be performing at Wigmore Hall, London on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th November.

On 6th at 7.30pm The Hilliard Ensemble will be joined by bass Robert Macdonald to perform music by three of the masters of English church music associated with the Chapel Royal – Tallis, Tye and Sheppard - as part of one of their most recent projects: Audivi Vocem.

On 7th at 7pm The Hilliard Ensemble – joined by the Arditti Quartet - will be performing recent English works that have become part of the 'Hilliard Songbook'. The concert features a new work commissioned specially for this occasion by Simon Bainbridge, and also marks the 70th birthday of Jonathan Harvey.

On 7th at 10pm The Hilliard Ensemble is joined by soprano Monika Mauch in a programme featuring Gesualdo's fifth and sixth books of madrigals, framed by a wonderful setting of texts from Dante's Inferno – a new work by Roger Marsh, who celebrates his 60th birthday in 2009.

Nevermind the Wigmore Hall, I wish they'd come to Wigmore - just 4 miles up the road from me.
