Van Diemen's Band & Bertrand Cuiller

Mon 15 Feb 7pm

City Recital Hall, Sydney

Bertrand Cuiller makes his Australian debut on harpsichord with Julia Fredersdorff and Van Diemen’s Band. Their Restless Baroque programme centres on J. S. Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052, framed by 17th-century English court and theatre music. It includes Locke’s Consort of Four Parts and selections from his music for The Tempest; Purcell’s Curtain Tune from Timon of Athens; Handel’s Water Music; works by Picforth and Brade; and Donald Nicolson’s Lachrimae after Schop and Dowland. A newly commissioned Jane Sheldon work, inspired by Byrd, receives its world premiere.
