Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf' entflossen,
Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

Hi Ruth - it went quite well, thanks for asking! I think, as Richard suggested, the programme may have been a little disconcerting, flitting as rapidly as it did from era to era. But even so, I think the audience enjoyed it (and it was a good turn-out - I think I only spotted half a dozen empty seats). And we enjoyed playing it very much. Fun music we don't get to do very often - and it's always great playing in the Wigmore. It's a shame we're not doing this programme more.
I was very remiss in not posting about the concert sooner (real life getting in the way, how annoying). I'll try to remember to give more advance warning next time!

I would certainly have been there but had a flight out of London just after the kickoff... although as I was sitting in a stationary bus just outside the airport with check-in about to close I found myself thinking I might as well have gone!
(Made it though...)
Glad to hear it went well. Do keep us informed of future ones!

But even so, I think the audience enjoyed it Actually, the more I've been thinking about it the more attractive it seems, particularly for the less Baroquely experienced listener, and those who turned up for Mozart and Vivaldi had the opportunity to hear some Castello and Marini. So do remind us when the next one's upcoming. |

Ok, this is coming up sooner than I think so I'll post it now: Birmingham Town Hall Sunday 3 February, 7:30pm Academy of Ancient Music Richard Egarr, Director Rachel Brown, Flute Telemann Concerto in D major for flute Handel Concerto Grosso in A minor Op.6 No.4 HWV322 JS Bach Concerto in D minor for 2 violins BWV1043 Handel Concerto Grosso in E minor Op.6 No.3 HWV321 JS Bach Brandenburg Concerto No.5 in D major BWV1050 Nothing in London this time, but for our Stateside members there follows a tour through February of the US (IN, WI, CA, WA, TX, TN, CT, MA, KY). Details can be found at www.aam.co.uk The programme varies slightly place to place. (I hope no one minds two plugs in a row for AAM - I'm not doing publicity for them, they're just employing me a fair amount at the moment!  ) |

See you there, George? There's a pre-concert talk at 6.30, I believe, for those who are into such things. (For those who aren't able to make it that early, this would appear to cover most of the content.) |

Bugler - that's far too short notice for such a trip...
I'll have to content myself with:

Live from LSO St Luke's, London, Tom Service presents a chamber concert as part of a weekend dedicated to the music of leading British composer Judith Weir. The performers, The Schubert Ensemble, have transformed the British chamber music landscape by commissioning around 40 works - including several in this concert.

William Howard (piano) That concert must surely also include Judith Weir's What sound will chase elephants away?, otherwise there'd be no need for the second double bassist. I do believe at least two members of this forum will be there as well as in Brighton tomorrow night, Ron, so you'll be able to listen out for our distinctive "r3ok clap" (bit like a Masonic handshake but noisier) on the broadcasts.  I will be at all of Saturday's and most of Sunday's Weir events, so maybe see a few people around? If you've never met me but know what I look like from any of the meet-up photo threads, do come and say hello. Not a live concert but can I also highly recommend the new NMC disc of Weir orchestral music released to coincide with the Barbican weekend? I've now heard a copy and the performances and recording are excellent. |

Thanks Ron, but it's that weird modern stuff isn't it... |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.
