AMERSHAM FESTIVAL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Iain Ledingham  (conductor)


Each of the six Brandenburg Concertos has its own “sound world”, according to the instrumentation and individual colour of each work. The joyous and invigorating Concerto No 3 employs ten solo string players in a rich and virtuosic tapestry of sound. The more intimate Concerto No 6 gives prominence to the Viola players in what is a uniquely lyrical and reflective work. We also feature some exquisite dance music by Purcell and one of Handel’s great set of Concerti Grossi, Opus 6.
