Combining the sonority of six violas da gamba with the remarkable acoustic and nocturnal atmosphere of the Temple Church, this concert is sure to be a magical way to end the first day of the festival. Join Phantasm in this ancient space as they delve into the treasure trove of Orlando Gibbons' consort music - works of profound expressive depth and polyphonic richness, as well as lightness and joy. Thrown into the mix is the sweetness, mischief and invention of Gibbons' madrigals and variations.
