Focusing on the the unique soundscape created by renaissance flutes in synthesis with lute instruments, Liane Sadler & Elias Conrad dive deeply into translations of Renaissance vocal music into pure sounds. With these fragile and yet expressively rich instruments, they offer direct and intimate engagement with the music, experimenting with the use of historical performance techniques in new ways to sonically express song texts and reweave polyphony into intricate, lattice-like arrangements.

With this singular approach, their programming focuses on remarkable but overlooked composers such as Madalena Casulana (c.1540-c.1590) or Vicente Lusitano (c.1520-after 1561), or music that has transformed through personal encounters, carrying imprints over time - such as melodies being handed down over generations, oscillating between song and dance forms in 16th century France.

In performance, Liane Sadler & Elias Conrad sit in the centre of a space, encircled by the audience, blurring the lines between performer and listener to nurture an intimate, shared experience.
