Work in progress showing – Two old instruments

Saturday 20th July 2013, 6.30pm
The intimate salon pieces of 18th century composer and viola da gamba virtuoso Carl Friedrich Abel range in character from the exuberant and playful to the wistful and melancholic. They are the inspiration for a collaboration between viola da gamba player Jonathan Rees and Susie Crow of Ballet in Small Spaces, who have been delving into the music and dance of the period to inform a contemporary interpretation.

Please join us as we show our work in progress, followed by an opportunity for discussion, and to give your feedback, which we would greatly appreciate as we develop this piece for performance.

Admission: £5
