Insieme are delighted to continue as Chamber Opera Ensemble in Residence and present a series of Free Thursday Lunchtime Concerts in Lauderdale House's beautiful Long Gallery overlooking Waterlow Park.
SERENADE TO MUSIC - A CELEBRATION
A bigger concert than usual for our lunchtime series, celebrating the Insieme family and extended family – past, present and future – and marking producer and director Johanna’s 60th birthday. With ten singers, string quartet and piano, this joyful “Sandwich of Serenades” promises a warm, uplifting and very special concert. Not to be missed!
Many thanks to Markson Pianos who loan their Erard piano to Lauderdale House, for use in our lunchtime concerts and to Riverstone for sponsoring the season.
