After their huge success as Artists-in Residence at the 2024 Overstrand Early Music Festival, Bellot Ensemble are back at The Belfry Centre performing their programme exploring the relationship between English and Italian music of the 17th century, revolving around their upcoming album release ‘Cupid’s Ground Bass’.

This concert will be a tale of two halves, the first exploring the thoughtful and expressive suites, sonatas and songs of London from composers such as Locke, Lawes and Purcell. In the second half of the concert we explore the freedom found in the extravagance of Italian repertoire, with our own diminutions & arrangements of spellbinding arias along with truly groundbreaking violin sonatas.
