Bellot Ensemble explores the rich musical conversation between 17th-century Italy and England.
In this performance, the ensemble traces how styles, forms and expressive ideas travelled across borders – from the brilliance and contrast of Italian canzonas and early sonatas to the distinctive elegance and character of English consort and division writing. At its heart, the programme reveals a world of shared influences and striking contrasts, showcasing two musical cultures in dialogue with one another.
Bellot Ensemble is the 2026–28 New Generation Baroque Ensemble supported by the RCM, BBC Radio 3 and the National Centre for Early Music.
