Spem In Alium: I Fagiolini at 40

We are beguiled by the glittering individual vocal threads, by blocks of sound being passed from choir to choir and overwhelmed by the cumulative power when all voices sing together. It’s an extraordinary listening experience and the centrepiece of a programme by early music experts I Fagiolini, who wrap it in Renaissance highlights from England, Italy and Spain for multiple choirs. It’s a sequence of opulent yet intricate sacred music that can switch between seductive intimacy and surround-sound grandeur in a heartbeat.  '..engulfs the senses just as it must have done in Benevoli’s day' wrote BBC Music Magazine (Recording of the Month *****) on an I Fagiolini’s recording of his music.

Our bar is currently closed . A temporary bar will be available in the Rotunda offering a reduced selection of drinks. Please note that we will only be able to accept card payments.
