Lunchtime Concert

St Denys’ Church, off Walmgate 4th November from 12-1pm

Love or Liberty?

Can love and liberty exist in harmony, or do we always have to choose? Join Bootham Baroque to explore this essential question through gorgeous but little-known soprano duets by Bernier and Bononcini. We’ll take a breather from the emotional tension with a beautiful trio sonata by Boismortier for flute, violin and cello.

Rachel Smith—Soprano
Sarah Sketchley—Soprano, Baroque flute
Felicia McCormick—Baroque Violin
Christopher Sketchley—Harpsichord
William Hunt—Baroque cello
