Mystery at Twilight

Julia Bishop, baroque violin, and Toby Carr, theorbo, present a twilight recital of 17th century music.  The programme contrasts  evocative solo pieces from the bowed and plucked stringed instruments, and the two musicians join to perform Heinrich Ignaz von Biber's Mystery Sonata No.4, 'The Presentation in the Temple'.  This event is celebrated at the Feast of Candlemas, 40 days after the birth of Jesus.

 This recital, scheduled for the Friday evening following Candlemas, precedes an 8 pm concert, More Splendid than the Sun, which celebrates the joys and miracles of the Virgin Mary's life.
