Cardiff University Baroque Ensemble: Spring Concert

This event has ended.

This term the baroque ensemble will explore a range of music from widespread eighteenth-century European lands, ranging from Vienna, with a rarely-heard overture to Pallade e Marte by Maria Margherita Grimani, and England, with dance music by Ignatius Sancho, a symphony by Carl Friedrich Abel (marking 300 years since his birth in 1723), and anthems for the Foundling Hospital by the visually-impaired composers John Stanley and Thomas Grenville, through to the Naples of Giovanni Pergolesi and his iconic Stabat Mater, reputedly written as he lay dying of tuberculosis at the age of just 26. An added treat will be the first modern performance of Gaude Mater Ecclesia by Haydn Corri, composed for the Dominican Nuns at Cabra, Dublin. Join us for an evening of uplifting sacred & secular music from the age of the galante in the superb acoustics of St Augustine's Church, Penarth.
