Music by Frescobaldi, Caccini, Monteverdi and others
Live concert: 7 October, 7pm SOLD OUT
"The Italians, more than any other nation, pushed the expressive capabilities of music from the Renaissance. Virtuosic demands, searing dissonances, pictorial word-setting: all these combined with rhythmic structures to paint music that strikes at the heart. This programme contrasts written-down keyboard improvisations with charming ballads and soulful laments.”
If you are unable to attend the concert, do tune in to the recording, which will be premiered on 17 October at 7pm here vimeo.com/user/118615689/folder/2516702

With concert venues only gradually reopening, to small audiences and with safety precautions in place, we're thrilled to be playing our part in bringing music back to real life.
Every precaution is being taken to ensure the safety and confidence of our audience. The concerts will place midweek so that the church is not busy on consecutive days, to reduce further the risk of infection. The same, now familiar, procedures that are in place for services will be followed at the concerts, such as distanced seating and the wearing of face coverings.
