Programme notes by Theresa Caudle
Promoter:
A note about the instruments:
Two of our violins are made locally in Bishops Waltham by Paul Denley, matched copies of the 17th century Brescian make Maggini, and all three are set up as they would have been in these very early days of violin-making and make a significantly different sound to more commonly heard baroque violins set up for music of a century later. Our wind instruments are also faithful modern copies of originals. Theresa Caudle
