I’m thrilled to be heading back to Broadford to perform a programme of incredible 18th-Century Germanic music with the talented Meredith Beardmore and Peter Hagen. This repertoire is so well-crafted, and perfectly suited to Peter’s extraordinary home concert hall. Works by CPE Bach, Graun, Janitsch, and Quantz, including a rare outing for my viola d’amore!
Tickets are available here.
It’s always a delight to go on a sunny Winter road trip out West, and there’s no better place than Dunkeld. Coomorra Ensemble is heading to the Myers Private Gallery this August for a programme of Telemann’s extremely excellent Paris Quartets.
We’re making an afternoon of it, so you can hear a solo recital by the fabulous David MacFarlane, have a glass of Glühwein in the garden, then hear our performance, all the while perusing a very fine collection of renaissance artworks.
