The Grand Renaissance Tour
Political and religious upheaval, philosophical turbulence, and scientific innovation all made Renaissance and Baroque Europe a melting pot of ideas, resulting in some of the greatest music and art in Western history. In this programme we will take you on a Grand Tour of Europe, taking in the musical “sights and sounds” of France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and even a glimpse of music from the “New World”. Shining a light on some lesser-known works by well-known composers of the era, we are particularly pleased to be giving the UK premier performance of Francisco Valls’ Missa Quinti toni.
