SUMMARY:Sypert Early Music Concert - Silent Speech: Ganassi’s Vision of the Human Voice
DESCRIPTION:Anna Stegmann (recorder) & Corina Marti (harpsichord)  \nMusic in the 16th century was closely connected to the human voice\, even when played on instruments. The art of diminution\, ornamenting a simple line\, allowed performers to shape music with expression and individuality. In La Fontegara (1535)\, Silvestro Ganassi presents the recorder not just as an instrument\, but as a means of speech\, capable of expressing a variety of nuances through grances and diminutions. In his treatise\, diminutions become more than decoration—they are gestures of rhetoric\, bringing lines to life.  \nThis programme explores that tradition within the rich musical culture of 16th-century Venice\, where vocal polyphony and improvisation flourished. From the lyrical simplicity of the frottola to the intricate textures of Franco-Flemish composers\, these works invite transformation through instrumental interpretation. Ganassi’s vision unites them: music as persuasive\, expressive utterance.  \nThrough this lens\, instrumental performance becomes a living language\, where breath\, imagination\, and individuality give voice to written notes\, continuing a practice that remains vital and eloquent today.  \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here\n\nTickets can be purchased on the door.

SUMMARY:Sypert Early Music Concert - Purcell’s & Clarke’s Trumpeter: A Tribute to John Shore
DESCRIPTION:Jean-François Madeuf (natural trumpet) & The Rossetti Players  \nBarbara Konrad\, first violin Yun-Kyung Kim-Fernandez\, second violinSylvestre Vergez\, viola François-Emmanuel Douchy\, bass violinMario Sarrechia\, harpsichord \n“Formerly\, the trumpet had its place in noisy military music; now\, having learned to play softly\, it knows how to accompany the most tender flutes and perform in duets with the most delicate voices.” (Godfrey Keller\, Six Sonatas…\, dedication to princess Ann of Denmark\, future queen Ann\, 1699) \nThe art of John Shore (ca. 1662-1752)\, both the most gifted military and court trumpeter in his family\, lutenist\, inventor of the U-shaped tuning fork\, shrewd businessman… remains linked to the name of the composer Henry Purcell.  \nThe Rossetti players therefore offer you an anthology of the most beautiful pages written for him or inspired by him\, by composers Henri & Daniel Purcell\, Jeremiah Clarke\, Godfrey Keller\, John Eccles\, Godfrey Finger\, James Peasable…  \nThis journey through Restoration London is made to the sound of a faithful copy of a silver trumpet by the maker William Bull (1650-?) and recently made by Graham Nicholson (Den Haag) \n\n\nBook Your Tickets Here\n\n \n \nTickets can also be purchased on the door.
