Unbelievably excited about directing this wonderful baroque orchestra in a programme of Rameau and Handel (playing an organ concerto with improvised fugue) together with the third performance of my recorder concerto ‘Romanesque’. Then asking the orchestra to improvise both on La Follia, and also in various ways – faburden, cantus firmus improvisation, improvised suite, with jazz changes – on a theme given by the audience: . A remarkable trio of improvising brass players within the group will enable this to go smoothly. Project of a lifetime.

Good news: a rare opportunity to give a solo recital on both my instruments – at the Dean & Chadlington Festival, Oxfordshire, on Sunday 26 June.  The less good news: it’s an 8am start.  Better news: fresh croissants served and included in the ticket price.

I’m delighted to announce the second performance of my concerto Romanesque for recorder, strings, harpsichord and percussion. Premiered at last year’s Ryedale Festival, recorder-player Charlotte Barbour-Condini will give the second performance at the Bedford Park Festival in Chiswick, west London on Monday 20 June 2016.
