WE’RE NOT DEAD YET
I Fagiolini at 40
In 1986 another student vocal group gave its first concert with an eclectic a cappella mix of Monteverdi, Grieg and the Fairy Liquid jingle. 40 years on Monteverdi has remained a constant and Robert Hollingworth and I Fagiolini have gone on to rethink exactly what a vocal group does, from unstageable a cappella to cross-cultural projects, world premiere recordings, the podcast Choral Chihuahua - and plenty of film.
In an age of AI, I Fagiolini is a hand-painted original. Join them for this anniversary programme of 'the best vocal ensemble music we know'.
