Philippa Mo

Philippa delivers the Partita in D minor by Bach, one of the most deeply contemplative of pieces with the astonishingly complex final movement the Chaconne, a dance over a ground bass with 64 variations. Missy Mazzoli is a groundbreaking composer from New York who responds to the opening of the Chaconne in her mesmerising piece ‘Dissolve, O my Heart’. Telemann casts an elegant Baroque path through his solo fantasias and is answered by the exciting young British composer Leo Geyer, who wrote ‘Guarea‘ for Philippa to perform at the Barbara Hepworth Garden in St Ives. The music comments on the exotic wood and shapes of Hepworth’s most famous sculptures. To continue with an upward trajectory and idea of flight (of fancy, of fantasy), we close with a tiny gem, ‘Bumblebees’ by Cyril Scott.
