About the show
Rachel Podger, “the unsurpassed British glory of the baroque violin,” (The Times) joins forces with Lucie Horsch, “the latest big thing in recorder playing” (The Guardian), for a spellbinding programme of crystalline technique and profound emotion. This is the first time these two virtuosos have played together and it promises to be an evening of sparkling collaborative virtuosity and deeply evocative music.
