Garden of Eden

Spend a morning in paradise with Gramophone Award winning duo, mezzo Helen Charlston and theorbo player Toby Carr, in the special concert designed to make the most of the atmospheric acoustics of Duns Parish Church.

With songs by Henry Purcell, Barbara Strozzi and Marc-Antoine Charpentier welcoming the day with the endless chattering of birds in the sky, lose yourself in the stillness of sunshine dappling the trees, and revel in the radiance of Love’s everlasting joy.

Programme includes:
Purcell – Come all ye songsters; Music for a while; Sweeter than Roses
Barbara Strozzi – Begli occhi; Il Romeo; Amor dormiglione
Pelham Humfrey – A Hymne to God the Father

“The performance from Charlston and Carr was devastating, combining power and intimacy” Planet Hugill
