Colossal Baroque

The grandest surround sound experience of the mid-17th century: not the Gabrielis up the road in Venice but a more Roman affair, music built on Palestrina’s legacy - with ‘a bit extra’. Intended for the great Roman churches, the congregation surrounded by singers, this will be the first performance of these works since the 18th century. Hear an Easter mass (three choirs) followed by the full four-choir glory of a mass for Pentecost based on Palestrina’s motet - and one or two quite extraordinary extras.
