Apollon et Orphée
Or, Apollo and Orpheus
Holy Trinity Church, Rotherhithe, SE16 5HF
Musica Antica perform chansons from the early fifteenth century by the two most famous composers of their day, Gilles Binchois and Guillaume Du Fay, and their contemporaries.
Utilising sources describing performances from the time, this programme will feature self-accompanied singing to vielle, lute and keyboard instruments, as well as - perhaps surprisingly - hummed accompaniments!
As ever, a bar serving refreshments including Holy Trinity's famous fruit gins will be open from 7pm.
This concert will finish at 9:10pm.
