Next Concert
Musica Moderna: Monteverdi Moving Fast and Breaking Things
Our upcoming concerts are a special focus on the music of Claudio Monteverdi. We will sing sacred and secular music, including seven wonderful Italian madrigals and a mass setting. Many credit Monteverdi with moving music into the modern era and he certainly was in a rush to prove how his vision of the future was better than his present. Yes, he broke some rules, but those were yesterday's news anyway....
We are giving three performances of this programme:
- Saturday, 9 May, St Michael's Church, Lewes, 7:30pm
- Sunday, 10 May, Friends Meeting House, 7:30pm (as part of the Brighton Festival Fringe)
- Friday, 15 May, St Mary-de-Haura, Shoreham, 7:30pm
Please consult our Next Concert page for more information on these concerts.
Brighton Consort presents four or five concerts each year in Brighton and the surrounding area. In addition, we help to further knowledge of renaissance and early baroque music by running occasional workshops, which are led by some of the U.K.'s greatest experts on the repertoire.
Our musical director, Greg Skidmore, was appointed in August 2021.
Greg is well known as an expert in the interpretation of Renaissance vocal music and he has a high profile as a performer with prestigious groups such as The Tallis Scholars, I Fagiolini, Ex Cathedra, Alamire, Tenebrae, and Contrapunctus. He brings to the choir a wealth of experience and great ideas for our future.
At this important stage in the development of Brighton Consort the choir is keen to recruit new members with a love for this style of music. Anyone interested is invited to email us on info@brightonconsort.org.uk for more details.
