Phantasma

Visions of Heaven and Hell

Phantasma
The 17th century was a time of devastation when famine, plague and war ravaged Europe. Yet out of the turbulent age grew the stylus phantasticus, a musical style if daring innovation marked by the bizarre and unpredictable, reflecting the tension between celestial serenity and infernal chaos. The EUBO Development Trist’s ‘most promising ensemble’ from the 2024 YEMF Young Artists Competition explore these contrasts in Biber’s ethereal Passacaglia and Froberger’s poignant Tombeau alongside works by Castello, Monteverdi and Cazzati, revealing the remarkable interplay between divine light and earthly tumult.
