We perform early music and contemporary music with a period performance sensibility. Interested in contemporary music that embraces period instruments.
Including lots of spooky words written by and about Dowland ‘where nights blackbird her sad infamy sings’, ‘alas there are few that find the narrow way, and those few… what are they?’

This was fantastic news for @thenightwith. So proud of the performances I was involved in with @Tom_Poulson and @DanielleTuba, and @ensemble1604. The whole season was fantastically varied and with such great performances.
Introducing Ensemble 1604 members. Rory is the director of @marianconsort and a beautiful counter tenor singer who is always thinking about how to convey the meaning of the text he sings, like in this recording of us performing Dowland's Flow my Tears open.spotify.com/track/0k6zF…
A brilliant soloist and continuo player, @alextheorbo
is a fantastic lutenist who creates exciting textures that glue together the weaving melodic lines of the melody instruments. He really loves Kapsberger and this is a beautiful recording he made.

Finally, @tcooper_music a composer and performer of electroacoustic music. Tim’s work is all about creating beautifully detailed sounds that invite deeper listening. This is a section from his work we premiered in December.
