HIP Company presents music from their 2025 album, Bedlam, as part of the Canowindra Baroque Music Festival.

A musical exploration of the dark fascination with madness and the human psyche in the Baroque period, Bedlam draws its title from London’s notorious psychiatric hospital, ‘Bethlem Royal Hospital’ and the tales of madness, gruesome crimes of passion, and horrors of Bedlam itself that pervaded literature, theatre and music of the time. HIP Company’s programme for soprano, violins, viola da gamba and theorbo, combines thrilling operatic arias by Jean-Philippe Rameau, ‘Mad Songs’ of Restoration England by Henry Purcell and John Eccles, and dramatic instrumental works within the theme, including a setting of ‘La Folia’ (‘Follies’) by Jean-Pierre Guignon.

Performers: Bonnie de la Hunty (soprano), Krista Low (viola da gamba), Sarah Papadopoulos and Meg Cohen (violins), and Tommie Andersson (theorbo).

Madeleine Easton Artistic Director

“What defines a genius? Genius is described as one who has exceptional intellectual or creative power, a statement that applies to many a great composer. However, even amongst geniuses, Bach stands apart from his contemporaries. No one before or after him reached his level of excellence relative to their own field. His contributions to the art of music far outweigh those of his predecessors and successors, resulting in him almost single-handedly developing Western music to its peak. In this program, we delve into the mind of a genius through his music, demonstrating beyond his creative genius that shines so brightly today and changed western civilisation forever…”
