 Evocative, witty and moving
Music of the period interspersed with readings from letters, novels and poems, carefully and lovingly chosen to recreate the ambience of a musical soirée in the time of The Prince Regent.
A time of transition from the formality of the 18th century to the passion and romance of the 19th. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven: Wordsworth, Byron and Jane Austen: Mendelssohn and Schumann.
Performed in period costume
" an elegant programme .... a wonderful selection of pieces. A Regency Soiree did exactly what it said on the tin and did not disappoint, it was a really enjoyable evening"
