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.
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.
Fiori Musicali play concertos from baroque greats Vivaldi, Handel and Bach – in the ancient church of St Mary Magdalene 28 July 2013.
To celebrate high summer, Fiori will delight you with a performance of music from the high baroque (a phrase to describe music from the latter years of the baroque period 1600-1750) in their annual summer concert in the beautiful estate church at Castle Ashby.
Fiori have a brilliant weekend lined up so I thought it only polite to let you know what's on.
Fiori's friends at the National Trust are hosting their live rehearsal on Saturday afternoon at the stunning Canon's Ashby. It's an open rehearsal which means that anyone can drop in and listen for free!
Until Sunday 6th July The University of Northampton School of Arts is holding its annual showcase of graduate work in the areas of fashion, footwear, textiles, surface design and fashion marketing at the Northampton Museum and Gallery.
Now what does that have to do with Fiori Musicali you say? I'm glad you asked!
Did you catch '2Day' on Friday? Radio 2 mixed things up for the day, changing the scheduling to showcase the variety of music played by the station with this year's focus on the 'Orchestra'. Each programme looked at the groups of instruments in an orchestra throughout the day.
I liked that I was learning as well as enjoying a brilliant mix of music. For example did you know that an orchestra does not include a saxophone?
Handel is one of the giants of the baroque. But I don't know much about him. Now, we can't be having that can we especially around Christmas when his famous work Messiah is prominent? So I asked Penelope Rapson, Director of Fiori Musicali, what she knows about the composer. It might be easier to ask what she doesn't know but here's what she told me.
