Internationally renowned for its genuinely innovative performances, I Fagiolini’s Lammermuir Festival debut is typical of their high ambition. This wonderful evening of music by Henry Purcell is crowned by his incomparable opera Dido and Aeneas, one of the true landmarks of European musical history. As a prelude, the richness and depth of Purcell’s genius is explored in a superb selection of songs, choruses and instrumental pieces from his odes and theatre works.

"The group are musical shapeshifters, following Hollingworth's giddy, eclectic imagination wherever it leads." The Spectator
