Sledmere House and Church are the venues for two short concerts, both performed twice. Audiences will begin in one venue then, after a picnic interval in the grounds, swap places to hear the second programme.
HOUSE:
Kosmos
Harriet Mackenzie violin
Meg Hamilton viola
Milos Milivojevic accordion
United by a shared passion for improvisation and music from around the globe, each member of Kosmos is an international soloist in their own right. Together, they offer an inspirational blend of Tango, Gypsy, Balkan and Far Eastern music, intoxicating audiences with entrancing dance rhythms, soulful improvisation and inimitable panache.
‘telepathic rapport, dazzling virtuosity, serious scholarship, intellectual curiosity and impeccable musicianship. I defy you not to be mesmerised’ The Times
CHURCH:
Royal Northern Sinfonia
Maria Wloszczowska violin/director
Brahms Serenade no.1 in D
Music with an open-air glow and the give-and-take of genuine conversation, as Maria Włoszczowska joins colleagues for the original nonet version of one of Brahms’s most loveable and lyrical works.
The grounds of Sledmere will be open from 4.30pm for concertgoers to picnic; and there will be a further picnic opportunity during the 45-minute interval between performances, when a bar will also be available.
