A welcome return for Newe Vialles

We are delighted to welcome Caroline Ritchie, Henrik Persson and Lynda Sayce back to Culmstock.

Highlights of their concert programme this year include music by the German violist August Kühnel, who visited England in the late 17th century  to study
with the English masters. His music shows the influence of Christopher Simpson, especially in his flashy duos for two viols and continuo.
This is followed by a concerto by a later Kühnel, possibly his son, for obbligato lute, viol and continuo, in a more galant style.
Also featured are the solo fantasias for the viol by Georg Philip Telemann, rediscovered only in 2015, and the one surviving sonata for viol by Georg Frideric Handel, alongside music for German baroque lute by Silvius Leopard Weiss. More information here

NB Coaching for experienced viol players will be available on Wednesday 13th and Friday 15th September.
