Bloomsbury Baroque performs music by Huguenot composers as part of Waddesdon Manor's Saved for the Nation exhibition, which includes a famous portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds entitled 'David Garrick between Tragedy and Comedy'.

It is also preceded by a talk given by Ellis Jones entitled 'David Garrick: his life, his times and his Temple'.

Both events take place in collaboration with the Garrick's Temple to Shakespeare Trust.

Bloomsbury Baroque gives an overview of music by Huguenot composers working in England and France from the early 17th to the late 18th centuries, including Nicholas Lanier, de Sainte-Colombe, Prelleur, and members of the Barthelemon family. The story of their integration into British life is reflected by David Garrick and his family, whose connections with France are illustrated with accounts and letters.
