2 fabulous concerts in the offing this July. Coton Manor Gardens continues our ‘garden’ theme – with an exciting programme of Moravian baroque music entitled Trumpet in the Garden at 4.30pm on Sunday 13 July. A chance to visit these wonderful Northamptonshire gardens…
Fiori are honoured to have been invited to join forces with CHOIR OF THE EARTH in a project that they are embarking on to record the Monteverdi’s Marian Vespers of 1610.
Christmas is coming and Fiori are delighted to announce that you can now purchase our CDs online – perfect stocking fillers to remind you of our live concerts. Please visit our CD page to see the full list of Fiori CDs currently available
Fiori are thrilled to have been awarded a further grant from the Continuo Foundation for our summer series of concerts. Thank you Continuo Foundation for helping Fiori to spread our wings in a series of fascinating summer concerts & workshops, with long term musical colleagues & young people. 2023 is a red letter year for the nation and for Fiori.
After my first couple of Fiori concerts it was obvious that there was a gap in my classical and baroque knowledge. I can easily enjoy the music without knowing the technical bits but I rock the geek chic (or I'm just a geek) so I like to know the whys and wherefores.
Fiori Musicali work very hard to give you a great repertoire of beautiful baroque and classical music near you. I wanted to learn more about the players who regularly make up Fiori Musicali and what makes them tick.
On the occasion of Fiori Musicali’s performance of their ‘Vivaldi’s Venice’ at Bilton Grange Chapel, I thought I’d have a chat with one of the main instrumentalists of the evening, Heidi Fardell. Heidi’s instrument is quite familiar for many of us. It’s often the first experience that we have playing music. ‘London’s Burning’ might give you a clue.
When it comes to Fiori Musicali Penelope Rapson is the person in the know. Penelope is director (she keeps everyone in line) and founded the classical group in 1983 after studying music at Oxford. She's a clever bunny and as I know pretty much nothing about classical music, we had a chat so I could swot up!
For a sneak peak behind the scenes of Fiori Musicali I decided to start a series of short interviews with the people who make up Fiori.
This post we hear from Hungarian Soprano extra-ordinaire Judit Felszeghy.
It may be cold and wintry in the UK but Vivaldi so easily reminds us of tempestuous summer days in his L'Estade Presto (Summer) from The Four Seasons.
