Emma Kirkby soprano
Marcia Hadjimarkos fortepiano

The centrepiece of this year’s Festival focuses on the remarkable composer and impresario Johann Salomon, who persuaded Haydn to visit England in 1791. Emma and Marcia recreate the special atmosphere surrounding Haydn’s stay in Hertfordshire which inspired the creation of some of his most delightful songs, set in English. With a chance to hear the authentic sound of the fortepiano, this is a true treasure trove of late eighteenthcentury musical life.
 
Songs and keyboard works by Haydn, Pinto, Salomon, Shield and Storace

A £25, B £15 (under 18s & students A £15, B £2)
