Interval

The lavish splendour of Venice in the 16th and 17th centuries is brought to life in 21st-century London in this concert celebrating the genius of Giovanni Gabrieli.

The evening showcases music both intimate and grand, from a fanciful sonata for three violins through to the rousing Alleluia of the last piece on the programme.

The concert features some of the OAE's earliest instruments - cornets and sackbuts. They, together with the instrumentalists and singers, drench the walls of the hall with their glorious sound, much as they did at St Mark's in Venice all those centuries ago.

Queen Elizabeth Hall at 5.45pm - OAE Extras. Rob Howarth talks about tonight's programme.
