Afternoon Recital: Eden Baroque

Event date: 06/11/2024 Export event

Event Location: Carlisle Cathedral

Wednesday 6 November

Carlisle Cathedral’s series of Afternoon Recitals continues, with a programme of classical piano, jazz, organ, and vocal performances throughout the year. They look forward to welcoming Eden Baroque, comprising of Michael Sanderson (baritone, baroque violin, and viola) and Katharine May (harpsichord).

Eden Baroque will be performing songs and instrumental music from 17th and 18th century England, including music by Dowland, Purcell, Handel, and Haydn.

Katharine and Michael established Eden Baroque shortly after moving to Cumbria in 2017 with the aim of bringing well-known and less performed baroque chamber music to as wide an audience as possible.

Their first concert in Great Salkeld was followed by performances in Kirkoswald, Keswick, Patterdale, Askham Hall, Scalesceugh Hall, Penrith, Hutton in the Forest, The Heron Theatre Beetham, and with the Herdwyck Consort in Kirkby Stephen. They have twice appeared on BBC Radio Cumbria’s ‘The Arty Show’ and gave a feature interview to Cumbria Life magazine. They recorded their first CD with the guitarist Ian Gammie before making their Christmas CD `Christmas in Eden` in 2021.

More recently they have given concerts for Alnwick, Grange-over-Sands, Hawick, Grimsby and Aberfoyle music clubs, Tatham Fells and Penrith (as part of a collaborative concert with the Penrith Singers), as well as in their own Music Room at Dufton House, North Dyke where their varied programmes are attracting an ever-widening audience.

They have tutored and given concerts as part of their baroque chamber music course at Higham Hall, Lake Bassenthwaite since early 2023.

Entry is free; a collection will be taken at the end of the concert. Please pay what you can to support the artists and the Cathedral. Booking in advance is not necessary, however, advance booking helps them to better plan for the event and you can also make a donation online.
