Devon Baroque

Music from The English Provinces

Celebrating lesser known English composers

Featuring Andrew Wilson-Dickson (harpsichord) and Persephone Gibbs (violin)
Music from The English Provinces
Celebrating 25 years of Devon Baroque - known for creative programming, relaxed, informative and fun performances and for bringing dazzling playing to our glorious county.

Harpsichord soloist and Artistic Director Andrew Wilson-Dickson says this:

"Handel's music, excellent though it is, is not the only way to put English music on the 18th-century map. So here are a number of fine composers making their music outside London: Mudge (Birmingham), Avison (Newcastle) and Hellendaal (Cambridge), each with their individual sound. The outlier is Walter Leigh, a 20th-century voice from London, whose delightful music owes much to the style of the 18th century."

Richard Mudge: Concerto no 2 in D minor

Walter Leigh: Concertino for harpsichord and strings (1937)

Domenico Scarlatti: Sonatas K31 and K7 (harpsichord solo)
