Spectacular baroque concert coming to Exeter Cathedral

Following their Exeter debut in 2013 Blackdowns Early Music Projects return to the Cathedral 7.30pm August 31st with another programme of spectacular baroque choral works performed by an impressive line up of musicians.

Musical Director JanJoost van Elburg will conduct the combined expertise of The Monteverdi String Band, His Majesty’s Sagbutts and Cornetts, the Altenburg Trumpet Ensemble and vocal soloists from the country’s top ensembles, as well as a talented group of singers from all over the UK and Europe.

This programme features two large-scale baroque choral works never yet performed in the South West, Missa Alleluia a 36 and Vesperae a 32 by Heinrich Biber (1644-1704). Biber's choral works were written for Cathedral acoustics; come and hear them in true style in Exeter Cathedral on Bank Holiday Monday.
