Ensemble Gombert
Australia's leading Renaissance chamber choir, Ensemble Gombert, is noted for its pure intonation and historic approach to choral sound and style. The eighteen-voice ensemble specializes in a cappella performance of Franco-Flemish music of the High Renaissance and is currently in the process of releasing its third professional recording. The choir will appear at Stanford as part of its third international tour, performing early music by Bach, Josquin, Tallis, and others, as well as modern choral works including compositions by Elliott Carter and Morten Lauridsen.
