About this concert
The 'cantare alla viola' – singing accompanied by the viola da gamba – was considered the most moving form of music in the 16th century. Céline Scheen and Philippe Pierlot venture to the crossroads of the Italian Renaissance and the English early Baroque in the work of Giulio Caccini, Tobias Hume, John Wilbye and their contemporaries. Pierlot's historical gambas form a direct bridge to the past, Scheen's impassioned soprano is the ideal instrument for improvised ornamentation today.
