Our project "Celestial Music did the Gods Inspire" receives a grant from the Continuo Foundation!

We're extremely honoured to receive a grant from the Continuo Foundation for our upcoming project, "Celestial Music did the Gods Inspire", later this year with Temple Music Foundation! We'll be bringing the Organ Battle of the 1680s at the Temple Church to life with music by the two organists on the winning side, Henry Purcell and John Blow - rarely heard verse anthems and chamber music. This concert will also be the occasion for the launch of our new vocal ensemble, the Hesperi Voices!

Do check out all the other grantees on the Continuo Foundation's website - we in the UK's HIP (Historically Informed Performance) scene are so grateful to the support and encouragement they continue to give our industry!
