About this concert

After more than thirty years at the top Ensemble Daedalus is saying goodbye to the concert stage. That demands a fitting farewell. Roberto Festa sought and found music which mirrors his journey over three decades. With Italian carnival songs and morescas by Renaissance composers such as Barbetta, Banchieri and Falconieri, this farewell will be above all a party, with – true to tradition – first-rate performers, such as his travelling companion Marco Beasley.

About the performers

Daedalus was founded by flautist Roberto Festa in 1986. In 2019, with thirty-three years of impressive concerts and recordings to his name, the ensemble will perform their last concert in the Utrecht Early Music Festival. Daedalus works with a regular core of musicians who are specialists in Italian Late Renaissance music. Their starting point is rhetoric and the way in which text and music come together.
