This entertaining concert from Michael Copley and Peter Martin showcases an eclectic variety of music plundered from across the world – England, Denmark, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Venice, Bulgaria, Romania and Brazil!

Crossing the years and ranging from very early works through renaissance and baroque to some from the 20th century, the mix of music has an immediate appeal to all audiences (including children) – especially as the pieces are introduced with some style by the players.

The concert features guitar, baroque guitar, charango, lute, flutes (bass, alto and bamboo), panpipes, recorders (sopranino, treble, tenor and descant) and ocarina. 

Composers include:  Isaac Albeniz, Antonio Vivaldi, William Byrd, Carl Nielsen, John Dowland, Diogenio Bigaglia, Santiago de Murcia, Michael Praetorius and Antonio (Tom) Carlos Jobim, as well as some traditional folk music from England, Romania and Argentina. The full programme is available from the link on the right.
