Oxford Early Music Day
Co-presented by Continuo & Oxford Festival of the Arts
Continuo is thrilled to co-present an Early Music Day with Oxford Festival of the Arts on Saturday 12 July. The afternoon comprises two concerts, both by Continuo grantees, and a talk by Sir Nicholas Kenyon. The Linarol Consort of Viols and countertenor William Purefoy will present a lunchtime concert of music by Orlando Gibbons, marking the 400th anniversary of his death. This will be followed by an Emerging Ensemble Showcase with the Bellot Ensemble, announced as the BBC New Generation Baroque Ensemble 2025-27, performing the programme from their debut album, Cupid's Ground Bass, recorded in 2024 with a Continuo Foundation grant. The day concludes with Sir Nicholas Kenyon reflecting on the early music revival over the past century and its lasting influence.
