Brand-new baroque group Contraband – featuring some of the finest players in Europe – continue their festival-within-a-festival with this ‘suitcase concert’. Our troubadours each arrive carrying a bag containing their most treasured pieces of music – some of the greatest arias and concerti of the repertoire – and present them to our festival audience. A “Come Dine with Me” of music, each player serving up his or her best, this is sure to be an unmissable Saturday night.
