| 8-Feb-2013 Cadogan Hall | Insalata I Fagiolini at Cadogan Hall |
 I Fagiolini is a vocal group I have been trying to see live for quite a while now, so I was extremely excited to be attending the London offering of Insalata I Fagiolini at Cadogan Hall.

| 14-Dec-2012 St Leonard's Church, Shoreditch | A puppet little match girl passion at Spitalfields Winter Festival |

It also means Spitalfields Music Winter Festival, which can be relied upon to programme something novel for the festive season while still not skimping on the mince pies. Friday night saw the innovative vocal ensemble I Fagiolini perform a remarkably diverse selection of pieces ranging from one by the late Renaissance composer Michael Praetorius, via Bach’s motet Jesu, meine Freude, to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007).Read full review... | |
| 22-Aug-2012 Royal Albert Hall | Prom 53: Remarkable vocal variety and colour from I Fagiolini's Italian Vespers |

It's an imaginary scene, of course, actually taking place in this late Prom at London's Royal Albert Hall, and dreamt up by Robert Hollingworth, director of the period ensemble I Fagiolini.
