Programme Note
Journeys through life – Baroque at its best!
In this very special performance six deeply personal stories of revelation and redemption are narrated by members of our Warwickshire community.
Our storytellers share their incredible journeys encompassing grief, amputation, cancer, dementia care and the long and perilous journey of a refugee from Iran to Stratford-upon-Avon. How does the human spirit cope with the unimaginable? How do people restart their lives?
In these special Night Owl series concerts, the audience are immersed in the orchestra, allowing for a more intimate experience. This relaxed and experimental format also enables the stories to be shared in a warm and friendly, inclusive, welcoming atmosphere – stories which are at times harrowing but often also hilarious.
Interlaced with the brilliance of Baroque music featuring music by Bach, Rameau, Corelli, Marcello and Handel in this unmissable and unique concert.
