Hugh prepares one or two concerts a year which can be given in aid of good causes in the local (NR21) area. They involve a mixture of flute and voice (baritone) and are dependant upon the availability of his long suffering accompanist Gill Smith.
Titles include (detailed repertoire lists further down):-
Of Mistresses and Nostalgia Late 19C and Early 20C - the flowering of French Romanticism and the English Song Revival (which includes three settings of Shakespeare's 'O Mistress Mine')
Dreadful Engines An eclectic mix finishing with the extraordinary 'Let the Dreadful Engines' of Henry Purcell
In Preparation:- Politics and Patronage To include works by Astor Piazzolla, Gilbert and Sullivan and William Byrd
Mozart and Friends Reliant on being able to find a copy of Myslivecek's Flute Concerto - all help gratefully received.
