BUDAPEST TOMKINS VOACL ENSEMBLE

Artistic Leader: János Dobra

Thomas Tomkins (1572 – 9 June 1656) was a Welsh-born composer of the late Tudor and early Stuart period. In addition to being one of the prominent members of the English Madrigal School, he was a skilled composer of keyboard and consort music, and the last member of the English virginalist school.

The Budapest Tomkins Vocal Ensemble was founded in 1978. Most of its members had studied at the Liszt Academy, as had their artistic director, János Dobra. The ensemble was the first in Hungary to maintain a formerly little known repertoire, which may include sung chamber music by any important composer, from the 16th century to the present.
