Thursday 30 June 7.30pm
St John the Baptist’s Church, South Witham NG33 5PL
Eleanor Turner harp
Lisa Nelsen flute
Enchanted Wood
Includes music by JS Bach, Debussy, Alwyn, Ravi Shankar, Glazunov
This atmospheric programme is inspired by the natural wood timbres of the flute and harp, in their most
primitive form, and the music created during the impressionist and expressionist periods. Stamford based Eleanor Turner and Canadian flautist Lisa Nelsen bring an infectious mutual enthusiasm to this
repertoire. Both are soloists and recitalists with international careers; Lisa is proud to represent Yamaha flutes and Eleanor is a Salvi Harps artist.
The double bellcote of St John’s is an unusual feature in Lincolnshire. It, like the arches in the nave, show the 12th century transition from Norman to the Early English style. Notable features include a doorway with human and animal heads, the sealed entrance to the rood screen and memorials from the 16th and 17th centuries
MUSIC IN QUIET PLACES IS SPONSORED BY CHATTERTONS
Our concerts this year have a distinctive English flavour, as befits the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. K’antu takes us to the court with a selection of songs and dances, the Ebor Singers turn to the sacred music of the period and the Melrose Quartet takes a broader look at what makes English music so distinctive. We open with the violin duo Retorica and also in more classical mode, harp and fl ute duo Aquilae presents an attractive mixed programme of favourites.
