The Old Chapel Court Concerts, held at the Old Baptist Chapel in Tewkesbury, are a unique opportunity to listen in an intimate environment to music from the distant past, played on instruments of the time. This year Italy is the theme of two of the concerts and as always we are delighted to present some of the UK’s finest specialists in period performance. For the first time, in this our tenth annual series, the recorder is featured, by Annabel Knight, with her husband Robin Bigwood, who played the Goldberg Variations for us in 2018. Nathaniel Mander returns to delight us once more with his extraordinary virtuoso harpsichord playing, and the series ends with Oliver Webber and Steven Devine exploring the Italian art of the flourish.Come and enjoy the delights of Tewkesbury – half-timbered medieval houses sit side by side with Tudor buildings and Georgian fronts and the ancient Abbey, together with a host of cafés, independent shops and museums.More information about the Old Baptist Chapel can be found on theJohn Moore Museum website.All concerts at the Old Baptist Chapel, Old Baptist Chapel Court, off Church Street, Tewkesbury GL20 5RZ.
