Valette Ensemble: REBIRTH

"EXPERIENCE DOES NOT ERR. ONLY YOUR JUDGEMENTS ERR BY EXPECTING FROM HER WHAT IS NOT IN HER POWER" ~Leonardo Da Vinci

In collaboration with Ventis Vocal Ensemble, Valette Ensemble combines the sounds of the old with music from the new. Featuring an all-female performance collective, the programme includes works by classic composers such as Antonio Vivaldi & Hildegard von Bingen, as well as the more recent composers such as Oliver Leith & Terry Riley. There will also be a world premiere of 'Three Shelled Trickster With a Threadbare Gown' by Kámea Németh, alongside arrangements by members of our ensemble.
