SUMMARY:Otley Baroque Summer Festival - Cantus Quintus: ‘What is our l
 ife?’
DESCRIPTION:Otley Baroque\, the concert series established by internatio
 nal violinist Asuka Sumi\, has been bringing outstanding Baroque chamber
  music to local communities since 2018.\nFollowing the success of its Wi
 nter Festival in January\, Otley Baroque returns this July with another 
 musical weekend\, welcoming two multinational ensembles from Amsterdam a
 nd inviting early music enthusiasts and local audiences alike into the m
 esmerising world of voices and viols.\nThe viol (viola da gamba) is a fa
 mily of bowed string instruments that was popular throughout the 16th to
  18th centuries\, particularly in private households and royal courts in
  England. Renowned for its expressive qualities\, the instrument has oft
 en been described as the closest in sound to the human voice\, capable o
 f conveying emotions ranging from profound grief to exuberant joy.\nOn S
 aturday 18 July\, The Lyra-Way\, a duo of soprano and viol\, presents Af
 fection Beyond Borders\, a programme exploring the rich emotional landsc
 ape of Baroque Europe through music and poetry. The concert takes place 
 in the intimate surroundings of Sancta Bookshop Cafe\, with tickets incl
 uding a complimentary drink from the café menu. Due to popular demand f
 ollowing a previous sold-out performance\, the one-hour programme will b
 e presented twice\, at 3.00 pm and 5.00 pm.\nOn Sunday 19 July\, Cantus 
 Quintus\, a distinctive ensemble of voice and viols\, presents What is O
 ur Life?\, an evening of English madrigals and consort music by composer
 s including John Dowland\, Orlando Gibbons\, John Jenkins and Henry Purc
 ell. The performance will be held at Otley Parish Church\, whose fine ac
 oustics provide an ideal setting for this repertoire.\nTickets are now a
 vailable online. Paper tickets can also be purchased from Sancta Booksho
 p Cafe in Otley and The Grove Bookshop in Ilkley.\nFor enquiries\, pleas
