Armonico Consort Soloists

The inspiring Armonico Consort Soloists perform "Heavenly Bodies"

Members of the critically-acclaimed Armonico Consort, led by its newly appointed associate artistic director Geoffrey Webber, have once again come together to inspire and entertain audiences with their versatility both as soloists and ensemble singers. Programmes vary from those with music at the heart of Armonico Consort’s core repertoire from the Renaissance and Baroque eras to music from the Romantic and modern periods: masses, madrigals, catches, duets, songs, part-songs and close harmony. This evening's programme is "HEAVENLY BODIES":

The sun, moon, planets and stars align with music for a concert of heavenly musical delights. This astronomically varied programme includes those Renaissance composers who took inspiration from the music of the spheres (Monteverdi, Dowland) to the composers of the Romantic era (Schubert, Schumann), who were captivated by the moon. With a mixture of ensemble, upper-voice pieces and solo numbers, the concert will also feature familiar music from Holst’s The Planets, and the classic My Soul, there is a country from Parry’s Songs of Farewell.
