Edward Higginbottom Director

The 350th anniversary of Schütz's death (6 November, 1672) is an ideal moment to celebrate his contribution to German music. IT&T will present a representative selection of his choral settings, from the madrigalian motets of the 1625 Cantiones sacrae to the gigantic 21-part setting of 'Zion spricht' in the Psalmen David of 1619.

IT&T is grateful for the support of the University of Oxford Faculty of Music for their support of this project.
