Overview
Performers
Join Linnet Baroque for a pre-lunch concert on a summer Sunday. The hour long programme of delightful Baroque and early Classical music, alongside a 20th century gem, features pastoral English scenes and invokes the naïve passions of a foregone era.
Music from the Pleasure Gardens, 18th C theatre and works written for domestic music-making are included, with vocal and instrumental compositions by Handel, Vivaldi, D Scarlatti, Shield, Dubourg, Abel, Pixell & Giordani. Rubbra’s Cantata Pastorale, written for Baroque ensemble and premiered at the Wigmore Hall in 1957, provides the perfect stylistic contrast, with its Indian tonal influences and dramatic rhythms.
Linnet baroque is a collective of experienced and talented musicians who have worked together in various combinations over the years and have come together to offer programmes mostly related to mid-18th century London with appropriate anecdotes and historical insights. Their inaugural concert was at Lauderdale House in October 2022.
