The Dunedin Consort, under director John Butt, is one of the world’s most exciting Baroque ensembles. Renowned for its ability to give fresh insights to established masterpieces of the era, the Consort is also committed to introducing listeners to the glorious wealth of chamber works by those composers whose music is more commonly associated with grand concert halls, opera houses and churches.
This programme explores outstanding works featured in the sale catalogues of family duo Estienne Roger and Michel-Charles Le Cène, prolific printers and publishers of music in Amsterdam, whose business success was built on the voracious appetite of 18th-century Europe-wide amateur musicians for playing these joyous pieces in their own homes.
Tickets £30/£27 (concessions £16). Free tickets for under 26s.
