Burnaby Recital: Newe Vialles

6:15pm – Emmanuel College Chapel

With a repertoire stretching from the early 16th to the mid-18th century, Newe Vialles operates both as a consort and as a viol duo with continuo. The ensemble is equally at home with polyphonic music from across the European continent as it is with the music of the English ‘Golden Age’.

Distinguished by its unique core sound, the group aims to engage with aspects of performance practice such as rhythmic flexibility and improvised ornamentation, resulting in a performance style that is both vibrant and engaging to the modern listener, and faithful to the vivid rhetoric of the music itself. Their interest in the rejuvenation of the viol consort tradition has resulted in two world premieres of music for viols by Jocelyn Campbell (2016) and Giles Swayne (2017).

In this recital, the group will perform works featured on their latest recording, which was released in November 2024.

This event is open to all and entry is free on the door. Members of the college are also encouraged to make use of their dining privileges by booking to dine at High Table afterwards.

Dinner booking closes on Friday 21 February.
