Purcell & Nyman: Music After Awhile: Iestyn Davies, Fretwork

Event Description

Recognized as one of today’s great singers, Iestyn Davies brings to life pieces by English minimalist Michael Nyman, baroque composer Henry Purcell, and a new commission by Montreal’s Jon Wild.

Fretwork, “the finest viol consort on the planet” (Stephen Pettitt, The London Evening Standard), joins the award-winning countertenor in this stunning co-production with Early Music Vancouver. “Expect bold harmonies, wondrous inventions, and melodies that will haunt your dreams – whether from the 17th century or the 21st” (Early Music Vancouver).
