It may be set to snow over Easter, but head over to Wigmore for some Italian sunshine and an amazing lineup of singers and players on Tuesday 3rd April. Monteverdi’s and his cool contemporary Sigismondo d’India, and more passionate Italian trio sonatas than you can shake a stick at…

It was a privilege to knock about in the unique Phantasm sound world with this greatest of great music.

Have had a fantastic couple of months this side of the Atlantic: Glyndebourne, Spitalfields, Orkney and other Festivals. Now packing my bags for a longer journey: to beautiful Victoria, Canada, where I’m joining a great-looking faculty for the Lute Society of America’s summer seminar (West) over the next week. A new one for me , a chance to put faces to names I’ve known for years, and meet some new ones, am greatly looking forward to it all.
