Delighted to have delivered the first of our educational workshops, for the National Youth Recorder Orchestras during their online course this week! We have put together our own lockdown version of Henry Purcell's amazing Chaconne 'Three Parts on a Ground' for recorders, helping to bring this inventive and life-affirming music to a new generation of young musicians. We are looking forward to bringing it to live audiences later this year in Hertford, London, Lewes, Kings Lynn, Malmesbury and Horsham as part of a new programme of English seventeenth century music - thanks largely to the wonderful generosity of the Continuo Foundation. Details coming soon! ...
