Ensemble Augelletti perform at the Beverley Early & East Riding Early Music Festival, celebrating a local music lover - John Courtney, whose diaries give us insight into 18thC music making in the town.

John Courtney (1734-1806) was a local Beverley gentleman with a love of music, dancing, and playing cards. Declaring that 鈥榤usick is better than cards by far鈥�, he eagerly participated in music making with local musicians and had an organ built in his house for this purpose. He also frequented concerts and plays in Beverley and London, hearing some of the most exciting performers of the time. Regularly recording these musical exploits in a diary, Courtney leaves us with a fascinating insight into Georgian music making in Beverley and London. In this programme Ensemble Augelletti explore the music-making in Courtney鈥檚 world.

The concert includes pieces by Handel, Sammartini, Boyce, Giardini, and Bach.
