8.00 The Tudor Consort: Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know

From micturating organists to murderous princes, this Tudor Consort concert ‘Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know’ features some of history’s most lawless composers, as well as some who, due to their political or religious leanings, were actually ‘dangerous to know’.

Tudor Consort is joined by Aurora IV, a male-voice quartet from Wellington, featuring four of New Zealand’s most experienced choral musicians - Toby Gee (countertenor),Julian Chu-Tan, Richard Taylor (tenors), Simon Christie (bass).
