The English Cornett and Sackbut Ensemble has a history of interesting and imaginative projects for historical brasswinds. Ahead of their upcoming visit to Galway’s Early Music Festival at the end of May, Vlad talks to Gawain Glenton about the group’s history and upcoming projects. Two instruments you’ve often heard on Vox Nostra (but have always wanted to know more about) are core to the group’s sound, so expect some cornetto history and a simple introduction to the sackbut. Music for windy Instruments and much more!
