About this concert
The blood-curdlingly beautiful pavanes in John Dowland’s Lachrimae or seaven teares are among the most beloved pages in lute literature. But can and should this music also be performed with a larger group? Skip Sempé puts the cat amongst the pigeons and tackles conventions with the most extensive Renaissance orchestra that has ever played this repertoire.

About the performers
Capriccio Stravagante is harpsichordist Skip Sempé’s ensemble. Since the 1980s it has built up a broad repertoire, working as a chamber music ensemble but also as a large-scale Renaissance and Baroque orchestra. The formation has always sought out the very best musicians of the youngest generation. The ensemble was artist in residence during the Utrecht Early Music Festival in 2010.
Harpsichordist and conductor Skip Sempé blends nonchalance and virgour both in his solo appearances and those with his own ensemble Capriccio Stravagante. Paradizo, Sempé’s own CD label, has released CDs of his own ensemble, as well as several solo programmes of French harpsichord music.
