Jean-Luc Ho

Take your ticket: head for Flanders! Jean-Luc Ho offers you an excursion into one of the most brilliant keyboard schools at the junction between the 16th and 17th centuries: the birth of keyboard virtuosity, the impregnation of polyphonic thought, and the effervescence of instrument making. A central land for European musicians, Flanders - then under Spanish rule - abounded in musical creativity and cultural exchanges in these cities where Italians came to publish and where Catholic Englishmen found asylum. A flamboyant programme of virtuosity and tender poetry.
