Flamboyant and unconventional, Cordevento transcends the boundaries of early music performance.Founded in 2006, the ensemble brings together three of the emblematic
instruments of the 17th century: the recorder, guitar and harpsichord. With
their virtuosity, energy and imaginative programming, the trio evokes the zest,
expressiveness and playfulness of both high art and popular music of the time.
One of the performing groups in the prestigious ECHO Rising
Star series of 2011/12, Cordevento is active in early music network,
specialising in the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The individual
members are established soloists in their own right, having won many awards
including the Dutch Music Prize, the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award, and the
Grachtenfestival Prize. The ensemble’s three recordings have all been warmly
praised in the international music press.
Ensemble Cordevento’s Hong Kong debut features a colourful
programme of popular and virtuosic Baroque music from the Low Countries, England, Italy
and Spain.
An evening of rare and uplifting delights!
