All Fancy Sick I am for Love

For their second recital in this year’s festival, the Bloomsbury Baroque Ensemble concentrates on music of the eighteenth century, around the time of the revival of Shakespeare’s work led by David Garrick.

It was Garrick’s celebration of Shakespeare’s Jubilee in 1769 that put Stratford on the tourist map for all enthusiasts of the Bard, and two composers of the time particularly close to the great actor were Thomas Arne and Charles Dibdin. Discover them and others still in this recital.

Performers:
Philippa Hyde soprano
Diane Moore baroque violin
William Summers baroque flute and recorder
Ibrahim Aziz bass viol
Yeo Yat-Soon harpsichord
