Guildhall School Historical Performance musicians play alongside members of the Academy of Ancient Music in a programme which captures the febrile energy of Restoration London.
The programme will bring to life the pomp and pageantry of Charles II’s London: a coronation, the febrile energy of the reopened theatres, the extravagant feasts and exuberant dances, the intimacy of the chamber and the glories of the Chapel Royal.
Instruments and ensembles of the age will be conjured in this performance which features music by the period’s most celebrated composers: John Blow, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Matthew Locke and Pelham.
