"Dionysus Now!," an elite vocal ensemble based in Belgium, is finally making its long-awaited debut in Japan. Led by Artistic Director Tore Tom Dennis, their performances—which reconstruct Renaissance polyphony not merely as a relic of the past but as a vibrant art form alive in the present—have earned high acclaim around the world. For this performance, they will focus on the music of 16th-century Venice—a city where the tradition of early music thrived—featuring masterpieces by Adrian Willaert, Palestrina, and others. The sound—like a “cathedral of sound” where each member’s exceptional voice organically intertwines to fill the space—will transport the audience back to Venice of that era. The members bring experience from internationally renowned ensembles such as the Tallis Scholars, and the unique worldview born from their close musical dialogue is truly breathtaking. Please come to the venue and experience the beauty of polyphony—a charm that transcends the boundaries of time and resonates with us today.
