Zalifenta

Sunday 12th June 2022 – 3pm

For the final concert in our Sunday afternoon trio, we welcome music group Zalifenta local to the Bath and Bristol area, who came together through a love of baroque music.  Performed on period instruments, their programme will take us on a fascinating journey thorough music from the 17th and 18th centuries.  Expect lively dances, tuneful melodies and a varied array of work from composers such as Telemann, Bellinzani and Loeillet.  The musicians will introduce the individual pieces and talk informally about their remarkable instruments: Viola da Gamba, ancestor of the ‘cello, various recorders and a spinet, an ancestor of the modern piano.

Performers: Hazel Fenton and Richard Little (recorders), Frances Zagni (viola da gamba) and John Talbot (spinet)
