Overview
Following its 40th Anniversary Season, when illustrious founding members Trevor Pinnock and Simon Standage were welcomed back, The English Concert continues its series of reunions by inviting former leader Rachel Podger to direct the orchestra.
Podger’s joyful virtuosity ideally suits this programme, combining solo concertos by Bach and Vivaldi with ensemble pieces that offer principal players of The English Concert the chance to shine.
