LIFEM25: Guildhall Cantata Project & Academy of Ancient Music
St Michaels & All Angels Church, SE3 9JL , [Venue Details]For well over a decade, James Johnstone has led collaborations between the Vocal and Historical Performance departments at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, performing sacred and secular chamber cantatas from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as long as they are not by Bach!
As well appearing at Guildhall, the Cantata Project are regular visitors to Blackheath and Hatchlands Park and have appeared in the Spitalfields and London Handel festivals. For this project they are joined for the first time by vocalists from the Academy of Ancient Music (AAM).
Guildhall is proud of its long-standing association with AAM; many of AAM’s members are Guildhall School alumni and professors. Side-by-side performance projects are a highlight of the Historical Performance students’ annual calendars.
Following two years of operatic collaborations for Handel’s Alcina and Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, this project expands the relationship to much more intimate music. The precise programme remains, of necessity, unknown; a new cohort of singers will walk into Guildhall for the first time in September when this programme will be cast with the sounds of their voices in mind.
Programme: to be announced in September.
