I Fagiolini 40th Anniversary Tour

I Fagiolini – ‘musical shapeshifters, following Hollingworth’s giddy, eclectic imagination wherever it leads” (The Spectator).  

In 1986 a student group gave its first concert with an eclectic mix of Monteverdi, Grieg and the Fairy Liquid jingle. 40 years on Monteverdi has remained a constant and I Fagiolini has gone on to become internationally renowned, rethinking  what a vocal group does from unstageable a cappella to cross-cultural projects, world premiere recordings, the podcast Choral Chihuahua – and plenty of film. In an age of AI, I Fagiolini is a hand-painted original. Join them for this anniversary celebration of their favourite music from 40 years, presented by Robert Hollingworth (BBC Radio 3, University of York).

A superb ensemble, outstanding in their range and versatility. The Guardian

This is serious musicianship that never takes itself too seriously – the Holy Grail of concert-going. The Spectator
