BrEMF – Early Music Club Night – Cool Passion

It was meant to be a promenade concert with the audience coming and going throughout this three-hour-plus marathon schedule with no interval. Torrential rain encouraged the audience to stay put, without enough seats so many stood and others sat on the floor.

They were rewarded with a sequence of brilliant concerts from young international performers including Little Baroque Company, Il Nuovo Chiaroscuro, Borromini Quartet, I Flautisti, Flauguissimo, and singers Esther Brazil and Greg Skidmore, compered convivially by recorder virtuoso Piers Adams. There was enough glorious music for three full concerts. Catch highlights on BBC Radio 3’s ‘The Early Music Show’.
