Marking 400 years since his death in 1623, this programme explores the enduring strength of Byrd’s influence, which stretches right through to the present day. Bringing together Byrd’s music with the voices of some of today’s most exciting young composers, Corvus Consort and Music on the Edge present timeless works by Byrd alongside pieces composed as partner works, taking the same text and drawing musical inspiration from Byrd’s originals.
