Best of the Baroque…
Some of the best music from the baroque age heads to Bath on 28 August brought by the dynamic and exciting young ensemble Convivio.
Here’s a taste of Convivio, recorded at St. Mary’s Church, Battersea, performing the 4th movement (Allegro) of Fasch’s Sonata in F major for violin, oboe, bassoon and continuo.
On 28 August we shall have an eight-piece ensemble who will guide us on a musical tour of the European grand baroque of the 18th century…
