The Garden of Earthly Delights

Londinium launches its twentieth anniversary season with a typically seductive programme inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. Our musical journey through this astonishing triptych leads us from Creation and Eden into Bosch's famous garden of unbridled lust, decadence, and excess — and the grotesque hellscape which looms alongside. The repertoire reflects the breadth of Bosch's prodigious imagination: luscious Renaissance motets and chansons by such composers as Crecquillon, Janequin, Cardoso, de la Rue, and Vivanco are balanced by outstanding recent works by James MacMillan, Thea Musgrave, Anselm McDonnell, Agneta Sköld, György Orbán and Bo Holten, whilst our programme is crowned by the passionate sounds of Pizzetti's Dies irae.

Tickets include a complimentary programme. Wine will be served in the interval.
