Stroud Arts Festival 80th Celebrations: Seeing Through Sound – The Marian Consort
Stroud
Dates: Sunday 10th May 2026
Venue: St Laurence Church
Seeing Through Sound – The Marian Consort
A visual and aural feast featuring some of the greatest painters and composers of the Renaissance. Experience an event which vividly reveals how Renaissance art is full of sound. Angels sing out from altarpieces, ancient gods and goddesses compete in musical contests, and music provides an essential backdrop to sensuous, amorous encounters. Music of the Renaissance from composers including Guillaume Dufay and Josquin combines with beautiful new music by Barbara Monk Feldman, providing a contemporary meditation on the experience of viewing art.
This project is supported by the University of Sheffield, with the project advisor, Prof. Tim Shephard, giving a pre-concert talk at 7pm.
