Leeds Baroque Orchestra, directed by Peter Holman return to the relaxed surroundings of The Old Woollen at Sunny Bank Mills for another exploration of the Italian Concerto. They are joined by two notable soloists: Gail Hennessy (Baroque oboe) and leader of the orchestra Asuka Sumi (Baroque violin) to perform a wide-ranging programme of music representative of Venetian taste in the late 17th - early 18th Century. Works by Vivaldi predominate but the programme includes Marcello’s popular Concerto in D minor and Albinoni’s Sonata a cinque in G minor, op.

Leeds Baroque open their 25th Anniversary season with two contrasting Mass settings: Joseph Haydn’s well-known 'Nelson' Mass - the Missa in angustiis (Mass for troubled times) scored for Soprano Solo, Chorus, strings, three trumpets, and organ and, thanks to support from the Instituto Cervantes and the Consulate General of Spain, Valls’s Missa Scarla Aretina. This is scored for three- part choir, single strings, two trumpets and harp.
