The concert is cancelled, apologies for any inconvenience.

Led by Robert de Bree & James Hewitt.

Did the orchestras of the past improvise? There are almost no descriptions of orchestras improvising. Although, several accounts complaining about too much ornamentation from members of the orchestra!

COULD an orchestra improvise? We think so!

Based on historical ideas for ensemble improvisations, and an orchestral variation piece (La Folia) by Salieri, the Grand Masters of historical improvisation Robert de Bree & James Hewitt present the result of an intense week of Orchestral Improvisation with a large group of early music students.
