Programme

Overview

Celebrate Fretwork’s 40th anniversary at Wigmore Hall with a sublime journey through four centuries of viol consort music. From the refined melancholy of John Dowland to the bold innovations of Sir George Benjamin, this acclaimed ensemble and their colleagues promise an evening of exquisite counterpoint and modern creativity.For forty years, Fretwork has immersed audiences in the glories of the viol consort repertoire, forging an illustrious discography and an unwavering spirit of musical exploration. To mark this landmark anniversary at Wigmore Hall, the ensemble reunites with a circle of esteemed colleagues to unveil a programme that bridges the generations: from the refined melancholy of John Dowland’s Renaissance fantasies through John Jenkins’s elegant dance movements and William Lawes’s bold contrapuntal designs, to the strikingly modern sonorities of Sir George Benjamin and the inventive timbral world of Silas Wollston. Heralded by critics worldwide as “the finest viol consort on the planet,” Fretwork guides listeners on a voyage through time, where each chord and every subtle shift in texture reveals the enduring resonance of these extraordinary instruments. This is an unmissable celebration of tradition and innovation, promising an evening of profound beauty, intimate dialogue and revelatory musical moments.
