Morpeth Music Society

Programme (on occasion, the artists may make minor changes to the published programme)

Vivaldi Concerto in A minor RV580 from L’Estro Armonico

Bach Adagio in Bb (theme from ‘Truly Madly Deeply’)

Handel Trio Sonata in F Major Op. 2 No 4

Bach Brandenburg Concerto No 5

Telemann Largo and Gypsy Rondo

Handel Aria Amoroso

Corelli La Folia (Madness)

alongside a colourful array of works by lesser known baroque masters.

For the final concert of the 79th MMS season, the society is delighted to welcome baroque superstars Red Priest on their first visit to Morpeth.  The audience can look forward to experiencing both classics of the baroque era, such as the Brandenburg Concert No 5, and less familiar works, all performed in the group's inimitable style.  The musicians are renowned for delivering an exciting, full-on, musical experience.  If your only experience of recorder playing is from primary school, this will change your opinion!

Piers Adams – recorders

Julia Bishop – violin

Angela East – cello

David Wright – harpsichord
 

For sheer technical wizardry, charismatic showmanship and expressive devilment, Red Priest is in an exhilarating class of its own.'
