Orlando’s Hand

Orlando Gibbons (1583 – 1625) was said to have ”the best hand in England’ and ‘the best finger of that age’. His music touched Glenn Gould with its ‘supreme beauty’.

To mark 400 years since his untimely death, we present some of his magnificent consorts for 6-part viols and poignant songs from his 1612 First Set of Madrigals and Motets including The Silver Swan.

Orlando Transforms is a new work by Brooke Green that pays homage to Orlando Gibbons and Virginia Woolf’s Orlando.
