NEXT LIVE AUDIENCE CONCERT
NW Live on Friday 21 May
Salvation Army Hall
A programme on the theme of 'belonging' combining oud, theorbo, lute, percussion and piano. As there's no repertoire written for this combination (!) so we've created versions of existing music including compositions by Attab Haddad, Bach, Ligeti, Lully and Scarlatti.
Tickets are sold out, but parts of the concert will be available online afterwards.
Meanwhile, here's a clip of Domenico Scarlatti like you've you've never heard before - for piano, percussion and baroque guitar.
