Commemorating Gabrieli & Haßler (2012)

Saturday 18 February at 8 pm
Xavier College Chapel, Barkers Rd, Kew

Subscription Concert 1

This program commemorates two outstanding Late Renaissance composers whose lives encroached on the early years of the Baroque. The two were friends and, for a period of some eighteen months, fellow students of Giovanni’s uncle Andrea Gabrieli. The two collaborated in the composition of at least one piece, while they currently share the attribution of another. Organ works by both composers will supplement the choral program listed here, and an ensemble of Renaissance brass, strings and organ joins us for this commemoration.
