About this concert
John Cooper is the name. But you may call him Giovanni Coprario. In London around 1600, he moved around aristocratic circles as a gambist and music teacher. But Coprario is remembered mainly for his fantasias based on Italian songs from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Five singers and as many instrumentalists seek reflections of Marenzio, Pallavicino, Anerio, Monteverdi and Vecchi in Coprario's instrumental madrigals.

About the performers
The Pluto-Ensemble is a vocal collective with varying line-ups, directed by countertenor Marnix De Cat. The ensemble is at home in different styles, from medieval to contemporary. It takes its name from the dwarf planet Pluto.
The Hathor Consort was founded in 2012 by Romina Lischka. Under her artistic direction, the consort devotes itself to Renaissance and Baroque music centred around the viola da gamba. At the same time, the group seeks new ways of expression in which this refined chamber music repertoire of European origin is combined in multidisciplinary and intercultural concert forms with early music from other continents and with contemporary music, world music and dance.
