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.
