Dionysos Now!
vocal gems from the Renaissance
about
Dionysos Now! build cathedrals of sound. The voices of this six-member choir interweave supplely to create an impressive vocal citadel. Their great love is Adriaan Willaert, whose renaissance music has been largely forgotten. This is unjust, since Willaert, who was born in Roeselare, was an architect of music of the highest calibre. Time therefore for his music to be heard afresh. At Walden Festival, we hear sections from his majestic Missa Mittit ad Virginem and other gems. Come and listen in the tranquil setting of La Viale, and enjoy the way Dionysos Now! return long-forgotten music monuments to life.
