HEXACHORDIA

An early music celebration for Shakespeare’s 400^th birthday

The Food of Love marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. Hexachordia performs a programme of Elizabethan music inspired by quotations from the Bard’s work by composers such as William Byrd, Thomas Morley and John Dowland.

Hexachordia is a perfectly-formed trio specialising in music and song from the time of the English and European Renaissance. The group plays on a wide range of historically-accurate instruments including the viol, recorder, lute, renaissance guitar and virginals. The individual members of Hexachordia are united both by a love of early music and by a desire to make that music accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Hexachordia’s programmes are designed around specific historical themes. By adding narrative to their performance, the group bring both the music and its setting to life adding depth and colour to an already exciting period in history.
