Exaudi specialises in bringing contemporary repertoire to the concert hall and combining it with Renaissance polyphony, drawing comparisons and finding parallels between old and new. This programme begins with some of the earliest music in multiple parts by the Parisian composer Leonin, and moves between the soundworlds of Machaut, Giacinto Scelsi, Heinz Holliger and Michael Finnissy.
