This summer, Otley Baroque is returning to Otley Parish Church for another fabulous concert on Sunday afternoon after their successful New Year Concert.
The theme of concert is ‘Harmony of the Nations’. You will hear a reunited taste of the 18th century France and Italy such as François Couperin’s Les Nations and Telemann’s Paris Quartet.
For this project, Otley Baroque received support from Leeds Inspired (Leeds City Council) which makes it possible to have a proper harpsichord in the venue and to invite two amazing musicians from York;
– Graham O’Sullivan, a baroque flute player who regularly appears in Dunedin Consort, English Baroque Soloists etc.
– Mie Hayashi, a harpsichordist who studied in London and is active as ensemble musician and soloist such as the Helschel Trio, also made her solo CD ‘Ascents Of The Soul’ recently.
Also featuring: Asuka Sumi (baroque flute) and Amélie Addison (baroque cello).
Adult ticket, £10 from the link above (plus small booking charge) or by e-mail to otleybaroque@gmail.com – free for children under 16 (little ones are welcome).

The 2019 Yorkshire Champions bring a varied mix of entertaining brass band music along with their high-class soloists and precision ensemble. B&R have been performing at the very highest level for well over a century and achieved notoriety in 1977 when the band caught the ears and imagination of the British public with their recording of The Floral Dance, holding the number two position in the singles chart for nine weeks.
We are delighted to welcome them back to Otley following their sell-out concert last year. More information about the band here
