One of the world’s great chamber ensembles, the viol consort Fretwork makes a welcome return to MUSICON with its acclaimed programme of music by the English Renaissance composer William Byrd, the 400^th anniversary of whose death falls this year. Fretwork’s engaging presentation brings to life Byrd’s mellifluous and deeply expressive music, alongside music by his friends and contemporaries Parsons, Tallis and White.
