Programme Note
The magical – and somewhat edgy – air of London’s 18th Century pleasure gardens was largely down to lighting. In the days before electricity the sight of hundreds of oil lamps illuminating the trees and bushes must have been sensational.
Katya Lazareva and Calin Andrei will present a wonderful programme of pieces by Mozart, Bach, Halvorsen (Theme by Handel), Spohr, Kaliwoda and Martinu which will evoke the atmosphere of the pleasure gardens in your imagination.
