| The Orlando Consort |
Works by composers from across Europe dating from the 13th to 16th centuries
Is there a more irresistible combination than good food and good music? The Orlando Consort’s programme of music from 1250 to 1550 features beautiful religious works and lively secular pieces that document all aspects of food, including feasting, shopping, recipes and table manners. Their culinary journey takes them from medieval France to early renaissance Italy by way of Burgundy and England, surprisingly the ‘food capital’ of the age. After a diversion to the Iberian peninsula, they conclude in Germany with lively songs that are a true celebration of ale and… eggs!
