South Downs Baroque

An Independent Production - Summer Concert 2021

Bach, Biber, Schmelzer and Buxtehude

Julia Bishop (Violin) & Nicholas Houghton (Chamber Organ)

The sister ensemble to the SDCE is presenting a colourful and evocative programme of German music from the Baroque on Sunday June 13th in the Flint Halls.

Julia Bishop, violin and co-founder of Lewes BaroqueFest, and Nicholas Houghton, chamber organ and director of the Lewes Singers, offer you an opportunity to experience a flavour of the extraordinary inventiveness in composition which was developing in Germany throughout both the 17th and 18th centuries, and the importance this had to bear on the development of both the violin and keyboard. Enjoy the new avant-garde style of Heinrich Schmelzer and Heinrich Biber, the beauty of Dietrich Buxtehude and the mastery of JS Bach in the sumptuous setting of Folkington Manor, home to the family of the pioneering English harpsichordist from the early 20th century, Violet Gordon-Woodhouse.

Two concerts, 4.00pm and 6.30pm. Tickets £20 (+ £1.50 booking fee), under 18s free.

Covid restrictions apply till 21 June.
