THIS MONTH'S EVENT

Wednesday, 29 May 2024 at 12:00

Alice Cottrell & Fran Jefferies

The third in our monthly recital series. Recorder and harpsichord music for a spring day: music from the renaissance to the contemporary.

Alice Cottrell is a local recorder player and teacher who has been performing and tutoring for over 13 years. She also runs two recorder ensembles which meet each month and play a variety of repertoire, from medieval right up to the present day. As well as incorporating such repertoire in her own performances, she also has an interest in electronic music, and has recently written several pieces using an FX box wired into her recorder. This has unlocked a whole new sound world which she has been exploring, and is continuing to develop into her work. Her passion for music is inspired by her parents, both of whom are musicians, and the incredible recorder playing of Piers Adams, both as a soloist and as the front man to the group Red Priest.

FREE (no tickets required)
Please join us for refreshments after the performance.
