Programme

Overview

Experience the vibrant side of Henry Purcell as The Curious Bards transform his theatre music, hornpipes, jigs and traditional tunes into an intimate in-the-round showcase. Joined by guest mezzo-soprano Ilektra Platiopoulou, this program breathes new energy into baroque songs, dances and playful rounds.Step into the resplendent world of 17th-century baroque with The Curious Bards as they celebrate the genius of Henry Purcell. Beyond his celebrated operas, Purcell’s imagination dances through lively hornpipes, spirited jigs and the traditional Scottish and Irish melodies that inspired him.

Performed in the round, this program draws you close to every gesture and musical flourish, inviting you to experience Purcell’s vibrant theatricality and the living energy at the heart of his music.
