Continuo Connect — Concert // Ensemble Hesperi: "From Caledonia to the Capital"

"From Caledonia to the Capital" celebrates two vibrant musical capitals of the British Isles during the eighteenth century, London and Edinburgh. Scottish and English musicians trod a well-worn musical circuit between the two cities in the 1700s, and many Scottish composers settled in London, where they pursued successful careers as music sellers, performers and teachers. Featuring music by Handel, Purcell, Playford, Geminiani, James Oswald, Nicola Matteis, Avison and Robert Bremner.
