As further fundraising for Japan 2020, the Kyotio Consort join forces with the Ravenscroft Consort (director: Stephen Cassidy) for a concert of early music focussed around 'Venetian Connections - ancient and modern vocal and instrumental music from the height of Venice's trade cultural associations with Northern Europe'.
Stephen Cassidy writes: "We associate the renaissance and the birth of the baroque with Italy. We counterbalance this view with music of the period from North West Europe, and in particular the countries which had formed the Hanseatic League. This powerful trading block fuelled cultural as well as material riches. Principally England, Germany and Poland competed with the then extensive Danish and Netherlandish fleets – stimulating a competitive creativity. The music of the time transcends all these divisions: Much of the music of the Danish court shares a common musical language with English composers (eg Parsons). The Danish King employed English musicians (Dowland) and sent two of his Danish composers (eg Borchgrevinck) to study in Italy with the great Giovani Gabrieli. Heinrich Schutz, the great composer from Saxony was sent to Venice for the same purpose, and Venice itself only developed its famous multi-choir style after poaching the Flemish composer Adrian Willeart. Polish music (eg Jarzebski) likewise inherits some of the innovations of the baroque from its south and west. The English composer John Cooper used the pen-name Coperario to feign a more fashionable Italian nationality
The concert will feature large and small scale instrumental and vocal pieces representing composers from all these countries showing how they relate and contrast."
