Eagles, Birdsong and Bach
Start time: 7.30pm
When in the hands of virtuoso recorder player Piers Adams, the ‘Eagle’ recorder becomes a new symphonic instrument. Designed, built and perfected by the late Adriana Breukink, the ‘Eagle’ has forged a path of new possibility for the recorder, allowing it to soar away from its baroque roots. Ever since first hearing Piers play the ‘Eagle’, it has been a dream for Howard Moody to write a concerto for it, combining Bach’s orchestral line up of trumpets, drums, oboes, harpsichord and strings with the more contemporary sound worlds of saxophone and percussion. This concert places the music of Bach and Vivaldi alongside some of the recently devised music from the La Folia Birdsongs project that involved students from Exeter House and Salisbury Cathedral Schools. The programme culminates with the world premiere of Eagle Concerto.
