FLORES APPARUERUNT

Sounds of the transcendent: Music to free the mind and cleanse the soul.

Vox Medicea, together with the English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble, directed by Mark Spyropoulos, present a programme  of transcendental choral works from the pioneering research of the Sacred Music Programme. Our Festival concludes in the ancient monastery of San Francesco high up in the Fiesole hills, followed by lunch on the spectacular terraces overlooking the most beautiful city in the world.

The Sacred Music Programme is dedicated to the research and rediscovery of Florentine choral music from the time of the Medici rulers. Examining the vast archival collections of Florence and further afield, the programme aims to rediscover the choral music of Renaissance Florence and revive it, transcribing forgotten manuscripts of sacred polyphony and bringing them to live professional performance.
