Apollo's Cabinet
Musical Wanderlust
Murders, drinking songs, virtuosic cantatas, serene polyphony and candlelit rituals feature in Musical Wanderlust, a kaleidoscope of European Baroque music interspersed with readings from Dr Charles Burney’s travel diaries using acting, dancing, poetry and silliness to bring historical performance to modern audiences.
Apollo’s Cabinet are a period-performance group but with a different angle from most: like a slightly less unbuttoned version of the Norway-based Barokksolistene, they are concerned more with storytelling than historical accuracy. - The Guardian
