BAROQUE ENCOUNTER - FRAGRANT FLORA Depictions of Flora in Music

15 April 2010
7.00pm - drinks, 7.30pm concert

BAROQUE ENCOUNTER TRIO
Glenn Kesby counter tenor
Lauren Brant recorders
Claire Williams piano

From beautiful and delicate to steadfast and timeless, the aromatic to images of rebirth, various flora have been used as metaphors in poetry, art and music for centuries. The recital highlights how different composers have chosen to depict flora in music to create moods, arouse images and express love.

Beautiful and wonderfully varied music is drawn from Arne, Couperin, Van Eyck, Hasse, Handel and Pepusch's spring cantata 'Fragrant Flora'.

Glenn, Lauren and Claire have performed in venues ranging from the intimacy of the Handel House Museum (seating 25 people) to the expansive Fairfield Halls (filled to capacity with 1,600 people), and from London churches to the Chelsea Festival and the National Portrait Gallery. Their respective performances have taken them around the UK, Europe and to Australia. http://www.baroque-encounter.com/

Programme: T.B.C.

After the concert guests are invited to join the artists in the Club's exclusive bar.

Tickets: £15 to include a pre-concert glass of wine
