Peninsula Summer Music Festival 2026: Ensenble 642 – BAROQUE BY CANDLE LIGHT
Plucked-string virtuosi Ensemble 642 is the inspired pairing of Hannah Lane (Baroque harp) and Nicholas Pollock (theorbo, lutes, baroque guitar), two of Australia’s leading specialists in the performance of baroque music. ‘Meditatio’ entwines the shimmering voices of baroque harp and theorbo with masterworks by Bach, Buxtehude, and Strozzi, in dialogue with the serene minimalism of contemporary composers John Cage and Mamoru Fujieda, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a sonic landscape of contemplation and renewal. Hear Ensemble 642 uncover the shimmering textures and poetic depth of early plucked string repertoire, bringing rarely heard gems into vivid life.
