Jakub Józef Orliński, counter-tenor
Il Pomo d’Oro

Multi-skilled, golden-voiced counter-tenor Jakub Józef Orliński joins regular collaborators Il Pomo d’Oro for a journey through the music of the early Baroque, which he believes is ‘beyond its times ... still relevant, still alive, vibrant, touching, engaging and entertaining’. Featuring costume, light and movement, this Late Night Prom draws on operas, cantatas, sonatas and songs, moving from the beautiful to the bawdy and back again.
