We’re not dead yet

In 1986, another student vocal group gave its first concert, which featured an eclectic mix of Monteverdi, Grieg and the Fairy Liquid jingle. Forty years on, Monteverdi has remained a constant and Robert Hollingworth and I Fagiolini have gone on to rethink exactly what a vocal group does, from unstageable a cappella to cross-cultural projects, world-premiere recordings, the podcast Choral Chihuahua – and plenty of films.

In an age of AI, I Fagiolini is a hand-painted original. Join them for this anniversary programme of ‘the best vocal ensemble music we know’.
