So much variety in a single hour: great tunes, sparkling instrumental interludes, hysterical witches, dance music and of course the great lament, ‘When I am laid in earth’.

Purcell’s varied genius is also celebrated in I Fagiolini’s amuse-bouche, perfect miniatures from ‘Britain’s Orpheus’.This event will last approximately 75 minutes, with no interval.Presented by Kings Place.All ages
