Bellot Ensemble
30 June|7:00 pm

Musicke for the Two Crownes – England and France in Dialogue, 1600–1700
The newly appointed BBC Radio 3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble, Bellot Ensemble brings exceptional flair to this celebration of music at court in England and France. Henry Lawes, Matthew Locke and Henry Purcell are set alongside the richly coloured chamber works of Lully and Charpentier from the glittering courts of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. Performed with Bellot’s signature freshness, refinement and imagination, this dynamic programme offers a vivid portrait of two kingdoms in artistic dialogue.
Featuring violins, viola da gambas, theorbo, lute, historical keyboard instruments and the pure luminous voice of Kieran White.
This concert will finish at c. 9pm and includes a 20 minute interval.
This concert is kindly sponsored by the Sampimon Trust.
