Armonico Consort
Supersize Polyphony 2
Armonico Consort & Baroque Players
The critically acclaimed Supersize Polyphony programme of choral music on a colossal scale, made Armonico Consort famous across the British Isles. Back with even more daring and adventurous staging in 20 – 40, and even 60 different voice parts, we will once again sing 360 degrees around the audience, totally immersing them in their sound!
In a BRAND NEW programme we feature many newly discovered works, most of which are rarely performed and some never recorded. This concert will also feature two world premieres by Hollywood composer (and co-founder of our education outreach) David Buckley. If you loved the first instalment of Supersize Polyphony, you simply cannot miss this concert. As an extra treat, we will bring you Tallis’s Spem in Alium – surely the perfect way to kick off 2025!
