Genre-Benders: Baroque at the Edge 2021
At the Baroque at the Edge festival leading performers including Lucy Crowe and Nicholas Mulroy explore the zone where the worlds of folk, dance and baroque music meet.
A double bill from this year’s Baroque at the Edge Festival, which took place online in January when leading musicians from different genres were invited to take the music of the Baroque and see where it led them – with some surprising results.
In Cubaroque, tenor Nicholas Mulroy was joined by the plucked strings of Elizabeth Kenny and Toby Carr to explore the connections between Henry Purcell, Claudio Monteverdi and Barbara Strozzi, and modern Latin-American standards by the likes of Caetano Veloso and Victor Jara.
FolkBaroque celebrated the central role folk and dance has played in European art music by bringing together folk fiddler Tom Moore and leading Baroque performers soprano Lucy Crowe and the ensemble La Nuova Musica.
Presented by Hannah French, in conversation with the Festival’s artistic director, Lindsay Kemp.
