My Lady's Chamber
Passionate Baroque
Quirky My Lady’s Chamber perform music from 1600 to 1775 in a manner accessible to modern audiences. Let them delight and inspire you with their beautiful period instruments and unusual corners of the repertoire. Having researched Early Music as postgraduates at some of the world’s top music Conservatoires, they can now reveal that all was not calm under 18th Century bedsheets! This concert will include vocal music by J.S. Bach and English female composer Eliza Turner, instrumental music by G.P. Telemann and Czech composer Jan Dismas Zelenka, and will feature two artists already familiar to the St. Bartholomew's audience: Emily Atkinson, Soprano (1607 Ensemble) and Claire Williams, Harpsichord (Musica Secreta). A highlight will be the performance of material recently rediscovered in the British Library and (probably) not heard for around 250 years!
