When Richard Egarr, the director of the Academy of Ancient Music, toured with us in 2012, we fell in love with his music-making. Intelligent, irreverent and bristling with energy, he brought new life to forgotten gems. We’re thrilled to welcome him back in 2015.
Hearing the music of Henry Purcell and William Lawes on the ACO’s burgeoning collection of late 16th and and 18th-century instruments is like travelling in time. Led by a master of historically informed performance, Bach and Haydn will be a revelation.
