Sledmere House and Church are the venues for two short concerts, both performed twice, with the audience changing places after a picnic interval.
HOUSE

Justin Taylor harpsichord
Castello Sonata seconda
Fiorenza Sonata in A minor
Debussy Syrinx
Rameau Le Rappel des Oiseaux

Lucie Horsch’s artistry reveals the recorder as an instrument of remarkable depth and vitality. She joins an acclaimed harpsichordist for a programme that spans centuries, from the ornate gestures of Bach and Rameau to an impressionist dreamscape by Debussy and Isang Yun’s evocative reinterpretation of traditional Chinese theatre.
CHURCH
Stile Antico
The Prince of Music
Palestrina Sicut cervus
Palestrina Tu es Petrus
Arcadelt Pater noster
Palestrina Exultate Deo
Palestrina Peccantem me quotidie

Palestrina Laudate Dominum
A renowned vocal ensemble honours the 500th anniversary of Palestrina, whose sublime music shaped the sound of sacred Rome. This programme weaves together someof the most cherished works by this ‘prince of music’, alongside music by his contemporaries and a modern tribute that sets words by Palestrina himself.
The grounds of Sledmere will be open from 4.30pm for concert-goers and there will be a further picnic opportunity during the 45-minute interval between performances, when a bar will also be available.
