The exciting blend of musical talent and scholarship of Camerata Antipodes returns to Epping, Sydney on Saturday 2 December 2023 with their latest programme: Baroque Banquet. Featuring Spicy venetian concerti from Vivaldi's La Cetra, paired with tasty Tudor morsels by Campion and more, lyrical delights by Handel & Leon Coward, and a light renaissance dressing of dance music by Susato and Praetorius, it's a musical feast for all ages. For the first time since 2019, the Camerata's vocal ensemble will also join the instrumentalists with a selection of airs and seasonal Christmas treats from the Middle Ages to today.*
Praised for their “auditory feast of musical works” (UK, Criticks journal) under the direction of musicologist-performer Dr Imogen Coward, the Camerata was formed in 2014 and brings together an ensemble of soloists, performer-researchers and emerging artists to create a powerhouse of talent, skill, inspiration, and sound with their vibrant repertoire of music from the 1600s to today, delighting audiences in Sydney, regional NSW and overseas.
Baroque Banquet features soloists Dr Leon Coward (violin/piano) Dr Taliesin Coward (violin), Christopher Porteous (violin) and Sophia Clark (cello).
