| Title: | Rachel Podger: Flying Solo in Mayfield |
| Promoted by: | Mayfield Festival |

| Place: | The Chapel, St Leonards-Mayfield School, Mayfield |
| Description: | Described by The Times as “……the unsurpassed British glory of the baroque violin” Rachel Podger is a phenomenon. She tours the world as an orchestral violinist and director, but she is at her mesmeric best when playing entirely on her own. Four strings and one bow doesn’t sound like a lot when it comes to making gripping music on her Baroque violin, yet that’s all that Podger needs to grip you. While featuring mostly 17th- and 18th-century music, the programme also contains an original piece and a Bach arrangement by the British harpsichordist Chad Kelly. But yes, there’s Bach too, of course. Bach and Podger – a meeting of minds across the centuries. Johann Joseph VILSMAYR: Partita no. 6 in A major from Artificiosus Concentus pro Camera (1715) NOGUEIRA and KLAGENFURT manuscripts: a suite of short movements Nicola MATTEIS: Fantasia con discretione Johann Sebastian BACH arr.
