The English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble. As well as playing the cornett, Gawain Glenton brings this chamber organ with a true Italian principale and entirely open pipes in Cypress. Both the organ and The English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble are “The best of the best for this repertoire.”
Rachel Stroud, Leader The Geldart Ensemble
The Ipswich Chamber Choir is thrilled to present one of the greatest masterpieces of the early Baroque era and one of the most ambitious sacred works ever composed. This performance brings together two exceptional period ensembles.
