"Devastatingly Capable Players"

We are delighted to host Apeiron Baroque for their first performance in the Courtroom - a really great venue for these musicians.


Violinist/Violist and viola d’amore player John is well known to Gunning, having directed the Musica da Camera String Orchestra for two rapturously received performances in the Shire Hall in recent years. At this concert in the Courtroom, he will joined by his wife Marie (fortepiano/harpsichord/piano).


Apeiron will present music from the Baroque era featuring a composer imitating birds, a bird imitating a composer, and music for the city siege! Hardware for the concert will include a harpsichord, a baroque violin, a mistuned violin, and a Viola dámore!

AUDIENCE FEEDBACK


"The Apeiron Baroque concert in the Gunning Courtroom on Sunday afternoon was a corker."


"Their performance drew unsolicited praise from audience members who told us it was “brilliant”, “so different”, “wonderful”, “amazing” and “just when you think it can’t get any better, it does”."
