The turn of the seventeenth century was one of the most revolutionary moments in Western music: old traditions gave way to bold new ideas, instruments with radical potential were invented, and composers passionately searched for ever more expressive forms.
Czech Mate delves deep into this era, where composers like Castello, Fontana, Ortiz and Schmelzer were inventing the language of Western music in real time.
With a full-length program exclusive to Launceston, together this lineup of early music superstars share baroque music from before it was told how to behave.
