Copenhagen Renaissance Music Festival 2025: BASTARDA!!! The PROFANE & Sacred Palestrina

---

Blackgaurd Ensemble:
Anna Maria Wierød, soprano
Lene Langballe, cornetto, recorder
Elena Medina, lute
Anne Kirstine Mathiesen, organ
Gilbert Martinez, spinetta

Palestrina has been long held as the “voice of the Counter-Reformation”, but what about his “hidden voice”?

Ensemble Blackgaurd, co-directed by Lene Langballe and Gilbert Martinez, explore the “profane” music of Palestrina, and the music it inspired for voices and instruments. This fantastic music pushed the boundaries of propriety in church, but also the limits of instrumental virtuosity.

Music of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Giorgio Mainerio, Giovanni Rognoni, Giovanni Bassano, Giovanni Battista Bovicelli, Girolamo dalla Casa, Antonio de Cabezon, Tomas Luis de Victoria, and others.

Program: Palestrina’s Ricercars, Primo Libro de Madrigali, and selections from the “Canticum Canticorum”.

Tickets a 150 DKK / Stud: 100 DKK on BILLETTO and in the door from 19.00.
