About this concert
High Renaissance with Cantar Lontano... that wine needs no praise. Still in doubt? Then we add that the outstanding singers with Marco Mencoboni dedicate their L'homme armé passage to Francisco Guerrero. His Mass for four high voices further spices up the already spicy Iberian polyphony recipe with the ingenious incorporation of the illustrious song as cantus firmus. Gregorian chants and a selection of Marian motets complete the menu.

About the performers
Cantar Lontano was founded by harpsichordist Marco Mencoboni. The ensemble made its debut at the Early Music Festival in 2007 with Diego Ortiz’ Vespers, and has since been a welcome guest in Utrecht. Cantar Lontano pays special attention to using the space in which the ensemble is performing, which means that each concert turns out subtly different. Mencoboni and his Cantar Lontano were artist in residence at the 2019 festival.
