Flute – Eva Caballero Soprano – Hannah Fraser-Mackenzie Armonico Consort Baroque Players Director – Christopher Monks I have long wanted to include Purcell’s smaller anthems in performance, and this programme provides the perfect opportunity to do so. It is particularly rewarding to be able to showcase these works through our outstanding AC Academy Scholars, who bring such freshness, skill, and sensitivity to the music. Their performances allow these anthems to come vividly to life, highlighting both their intimacy and expressive depth. Placed alongside Telemann’s exquisite brilliance, the contrast is especially striking, creating a programme that is both varied and deeply rewarding for performers and audiences alike. Christopher Monks Programme: Georg Phillipp Telemann – Paris Quartet no 6 in E Minor Georg Fredric Handel – Non Disperar (Guilio Cesare) Georg Fredric Handel – Lascia ch’io pianga Georg Phillipp Telemann – Seele, lerne dich erkennen Gottfried Heinrich Stölzle – Bist du bei mir (Diomedes) Georg Phillipp Telemann – Flute Concerto in D Major Johan Sebastian Bach – Ich folge dir gleichfalls (St John Passion) Running time: 1 hour (no interval) Please note: running times are approximate and may change on the day of a performance.
