Family Concert: Baroque Viola and Schubert
​
Baroque strings share this early summer programme with Schubert at his tuneful best.
​
Telemann's gentle Concerto for Two Violas takes centre stage, following up on his Viola Concerto in G we performed at Leys Institute in 2019.
​
Two major contrasting works by Pietro Locatelli show Italian flair. His Sinfonia Funebre reflects the sombre nature of a funeral, but traverses a path from sadness to optimism; from the past to the future.
​
Locatelli's Christmas Concerto evokes the mystery, wonder and adoration of the season. Its bright and lively music requires two solo violins, two solo violas and a solo cello in addition to the usual complement of strings.
​
Schubert's youthful overture The Devil as Engineer and selections from incidental music to Rosamunde – with an entr'act, 'Shepherd's Melodies' and two ballets – round out our final concert of 2023.
​
Soloists: Iona McDonald, Judith Gust (viola); Evelyn Boyack, Paula Scandle (violin); Jessica Ambler (cello).
​
Admission is free.
