I Predict a Riot

Set between the Gunpowder Plot and the English Civil War, ZAREKtrio explores the turbulent spirit of the 17th century – a time of great faith, upheaval, dissent, and artistic defiance.

The concert opens with Coprario, Lawes and Jenkins' Fantasia Suites, followed by 'A Pavane for These Sad, Distracted Times' (1649) by Thomas Tomkins, and ends with consort music in 4 parts by Matthew Locke and Henry Purcell.
