This programme traces the beginnings of the trio sonata in England. It features a wealth of composers active at the time alongside a sprinkling of Italian pieces known to Purcell, including Lonati’s spectacular “scordatura” (“mistuned”) violin sonata. The programme ends with Purcell’s stunning Chacony, which will be heard again – in Britten’s arrangement – on Saturday 15 June.

Concert finishes at approx. 12.15pm
