Oxford Early Music Day

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, who will perform the programme from their debut album, Cupid's Ground Bass, recorded in 2024 supported by a grant from Continuo Foundation. The day concludes with Sir Nicholas Kenyon reflecting on the early music revival over the past century and its lasting influence.
