I Fagiolini is internationally renowned for its innovative productions and outstanding vocal work, and in this concert they join forces with WMC favourite Rachel Podger and her ensemble Brecon Baroque. This Christmas concert promises to delight and inspire in equal measure: in baroque Naples, angels dance the tarantella; over in Spain, guitars strum and castanets snap; whilst in Germany, Bach’s rich harmonies warm the winter air. With singing angels, baffled shepherds and the devil shooting up into the air like a rocket, start your festive season with an evening of enchanting stories and world-class musicianship.
Serious musicianship that never takes itself too seriously
