Violinist Matthew Millkey and historical keyboardist Kiele Sacco began collaborating while studying at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, and have since curated several recital programmes, with a particular focus on the stylus phantasticus. With a keen interest in research, the duo endeavours both to bring forgotten works to the concert stage and to present new interpretations of well-known staples of the repertoire. Recent projects include a practice-based investigation of J.P. von Westhoff’s Sonata “La Guerra”, and the creation of world-premiere recordings of solo violin works by Anthony Poole. . Based in London, Matthew and Kiele are also founding members of The Great Bear Ensemble. |

The Ave Maria and the Magnificat – Mary's song upon learning she is to become the Mother of Christ – are amongst the most sung words in choral music, here set by Clemens non Papa and Esquivel. Alongside them we sing more traditional Christmas repertoire, like of Lo, how a rose e'er blooming and Behold, a Virgin shall conceive, set in German and Latin by Distler and Sweelinck. The programme is completed with seasonal curiosities including Poulenc's composition inspired by a trip to the Black Virgin statue in Rocamadour, and two lullabies from Mary to her newborn son by H. Praetorius and Byrd. With music representing Italian, French, Spanish, Germanic, Flemish and English musical traditions, interspersed with traditional Christmas carols, we hope to take you with us round the churches and Christmas markets of Europe before landing you home again. In the interval, there will be wine, mince pies and their European relatives, Panettone and Stollen. |
