VACHE BAROQUE: THE FOOD OF LOVE

TICKETS FOR THIS CONCERT AVAILABLE AT THIS LINK

This February, join Vache Baroque at Fidelio Cafe for two intimate evenings of love-themed music inspired by Duke Orsino’s immortal words from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. After meeting at an Italian wedding feast in 1600, we’ll then pay homage to the master of melancholy John Dowland, summon gods and dancefloors through the music of Henry Purcell, indulge in a sorbet of folk music, then get très romantique with gallant music by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Telemann, and autres. Expect heart-rending melodies, impassioned virtuosic flair, and tender moments of stillness. Texts and translations will be provided.

Lineup:

Mezzo soprano: Bethany Horak-Hallett
Violin: Sophia Prodanova
Recorder/flute: Thomas Pickering
Theorbo/guitar: Sergio Bucheli
Viola da gamba: Jacob Garside
Musical director/harpsichord: Jonathan Darbourne

What you need to know:

Doors open at 6.30pm for cocktails, wine and bistro-style small plates, available to enjoy before and during the performance in Fidelio Cafe’s signature relaxed atmosphere. Guests are invited to stay on for a full Valentine’s dinner, with the complete menu to be revealed closer to the date.
