Music from the very first music books ever printed (Ottaviano Petrucci in Venice) to reflect the Festival theme of ‘Innovation’, performed on another ‘invention’ of c.1500: the consort of viols, using our set of viols based on a 1497 painting by Lorenzo Costa. Music by Josquin des Prez and his contemporaries.

With Clare Wilkinson mezzo-soprano and Jacob Heringman viola da mano
