KonCon Early Music

Royal Conservatoire of The Hague – class of Margaret Urquhart The Early Music department of the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague is a real breeding ground for historically-informed bass playing – and at BassFest you get to hear a new generation up close! Guided by legend Margaret Urquhart, these young musicians dive into historic sound worlds, gut strings, continuo, dance rhythms and the role of the bass before it became the modern instrument we know today. Their playing combines style awareness with curiosity and personal flair, lively, colourful, and full of detail! Performers Alexandre Teyssonnière de Gramont – double bass / violone Keenan Zach – double bass / violone Noémie Malo – violone Ekaterina Uverova — theorbo
