Baroque Ensemble and Early Voices - End of Semester 2 Concert

The Early Music Studio and Early Voices proudly presents a semester’s work from its students. Enjoy excerpts from Le bourgeois gentilhomme, by French classical music’s legendary master Lully which establishes colour and pageantry. Alongside pieces from the sackbut ensemble which explores the excitement and flair of late 16th-century Europe. This semester marks the second Annual Baroque Ensemble concerto extravaganza, showcasing some of the unique student talent in the Early Music Studio. The extravaganza features a concerto for piccolo by Vivaldi, a recorder concerto by Sammartini, cello concerti by Leo and Tartini, organ concerto by Handel, and a new arrangement of Vivaldi’s double cello concerto for cello and violone. The programme closes with the moving Litanies de la Vierge by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, which combines instrumental and vocal forces in a powerful prayer to the Virgin Mary.
