Join us for Night FYP to hear the Helios Vocal Ensemble, old friends of the University of King’s College, in a voyage to the Renaissance in an exploration of the era’s greatest hits. These highly trained singers will bring their exceptional sound and artistry to a feast of lovelorn and lascivious music from England, Italy and France, including works by Lassus, Arcadelt and Wilbye.

The program will also feature rare pieces by women composers including Maddalena Casulana and Vittoria Aleotti, as well as classic lute songs performed by counter-tenor Andrew Pickett with special guest harpist Ellen Gibling.
