About this concert
In 1754 Jommelli took up the position of ‘Ober-Kapellmeister’ at the ducal court of Stuttgart. There he wrote not only operas, serenatas and pastorales but also religious music for special occasions. One example is his Requiem, a musical farewell to the mother of Jommelli’s patron. Counterpoint German style, French ornamentation and Italian drama come together in this unique blend, which clearly bears Naples’ signature.

About the performers
The Belgian ensemble Vox Luminis, consisting of a very international cast of soloists, focuses on vocal music written between the 16th and 18th centuries. Most of the group met at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. The ensemble operates independently but also collaborates with instrumental groups such as Les Muffatti. Their CDs on the Ricercar label have been received with enthusiasm, including Schütz’ Musikalische Exequien, and English Royal Funeral Music, with works by Purcell and others. Vox Luminis was artist in residence during the Utrecht Early Music Festival of 2015.
For thirty years now Il Gardellino, under the direction of Jan De Winne and Marcel Ponseele, has been a significant feature of the Flemish early music scene. The ensemble takes its name from Vivaldi ’s concerto da camera ‘del Gardellino’, a musical portrait of a virtuoso goldfinch. Although Bach’s music has from the start played a central role, the ensemble has also made its mark with other Baroque masters. For vocal programmes Il Gardellino joins forces with Cappella Amsterdam and the Gesualdo Consort.
