Solomon’s Knot gave an unforgettable performance of Bach’s St Matthew Passion in Trinity College Chapel last year, so expectations are high for their return to Cambridge Early Music with Monteverdi’s masterpiece.
The Vespers combines the exalted and the sensual in a dizzying array of soaring choruses, intricate duets and solos, and instrumental writing so fresh-sounding it could have been composed yesterday.
Solomon's Knot is an international, flexible collective of leading instrumentalists and singers who bring old music to new life by pushing the limits of what is possible on stage.
With no conductor, we sing everything from memory, integrating innovative live performance with scrupulous musical preparation to produce an intense and visceral experience for our audience.
