Join the African Renaissance Ensemble on an epic journey from the 15th Century through to the end of the Baroque period in 1750. The concert will tell the story of how European music developed leading to the Classical section. We will explore the origins of Opera, the birth of the orchestra and the transition from Mediaeval Modes to Major and Minor keys. We will take a round trip starting and ending in Italy with stops in Germany, Spain, France and England. The programme contains instrumental and vocal music performed on a mix of period and modern instruments.
