Performance by Helen Charlston (voice) and Terence Charlston (virginals and square piano)

‘Music for the list’ning soul’

Helen Charlston and Terence Charlston bring two contrasting instruments to life in a programme that traverses the gamut of joy and sorrow of baroque keyboard and vocal music.

Follow these changing musical worlds from Monteverdi, Frescobaldi and Barbara Strozzi to Handel and Elisabetta de Gambarini, culminating in Haydn’s dramatic Cantata, Arianna a Naxos.

Instruments:

• Virginals by Onofrio Guarracino, Naples, 1668
