Heartstrings
In June 2003, at the suggestion of Emma Kirkby, Elisabeth Goell and Rebekah Durston met to explore music for violin, voice and harpsichord/piano.
Both musicians are connected by a deep joy and love for chamber music of several centuries.
The 'Baroque Evening' brings together the music of Arne, Handel, Searlatti, Vivaldi, Bach, Elizabeth-Claude Jacque de la Guerre in a bubbling stream of joyful and reflective sounds.
Their second programme option, 'Mozart to Modern', includes works from Mozart and unknown 18th and 19th Century composers, to modern works by Rebecca Clarke for voice and violin.
A real musical treat!

at eventide (Eric Coates)

| duality; noun | 1

.... and in all nature we find duality;
light and darkness,
faith and despair,
courage and cowardice,
strength and weakness,
good and evil,
beauty and ugliness,
love and hate
...... yet it is only through duality that we can ever truly experience unity ......
In an evening of vocal duets and poetry, Elisabeth Goell and Judith Sheridan explore themes central to mankind’s creative experience in music from the baroque to the present day.
