Otley Baroque is delighted to welcome back the celebrated Ensemble Flauguissimo who had appeared in our very first concert in the Parish Church in 2018!
After busy & successful years of performing in several renowned music festivals around the UK including Brighton Early Music Festival, Flauguissimo just published their new album ‘To the Northern Star’ joined by a phenomenal soprano Emily Atkinson.
The album features chamber works and cantatas for flute and soprano by Johan Helmich Roman, who is known as ‘the father of Swedish classical music’ or ‘Swedish Handel’. In this concert, you will hear the best hits from the album, and Otley Baroque’s Asuka Sumi will join as a guest to play some trio sonata and violin sonata with the ensemble.
We are thankful to be back to our favourite venue, Otley Parish Church. The listeners will enjoy a fantastic acoustic in this historic church as well as free hot&cold drinks during the interval.
