Fiddlers Three: An exuberant Baroque recital by the Musical & Amicable Society - three violins, lute and continuo. Tickets available here
This is music that absolutely belongs in King Charles church. It's from the same period as when the church was built, with music by Purcell and his contemporaries. In previous performances of tmusic from this period, we've been immediately struck by how well it fits with the atmosphere and architecture of the building. Think of Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn, both subscribers to the church's construction, hearing and tapping their feet to this music - and the court and the King, Charles II himself, bringing fun and laughter back into public life after the Puritan years of the Civil War.
Based in the midlands, this is one of the country's premier Baroque ensembles, led by Dr Martin Perkins, Head of Historical Performance at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
