Barefoot Baroque

This summer (2017) sees the return of a series of concerts in West Cork by Barefoot Baroque, a trio featuring Katy Salvidge on baroque recorder and harp, Justin Grounds on baroque violin and Tess Leak on cello. The trio began their annual tour of baroque concerts in informal spaces in 2016, bringing the vibrancy and richness of 17th century music to audiences across the islands and towns of West Cork.

This year I’m joining the trio to add my voice to arias by Handel, Bach and Purcell, as well as some of the lesser known experimental pieces of the era, the concerts promise to enliven and inspire. All welcome, entry by donation.

Aug 13 :: Rolf’s, Baltimore 5pm
Aug 14 :: The Gallery, Heir Island 4.30pm
Aug 16 :: Unity Yoga, Clonakilty 7pm
Aug 18 :: Uillinn, Skibbereen 3pm
Aug 18 :: Inish Beg, Baltimore 8pm
Aug 19 :: An Sanctoir, Ballydehob 8pm
Aug 20 :: North shore, Sherkin Island 4pm

Mother and Sun: April 7th

As the final part of my M.A. course at the Cork School of Music, which I have enjoyed so much that I don’t want to leave, I’ll be holding a recital on the 7th April entitled ‘Mother and Sun’. It’s open to the public, free to enter and starts at 16:00 in the main auditorium at the school. I’m enormously privileged to be working with three wonderful and supremely talented musicians and together we’ll be following the sun around the world as I perform songs experienced through a mother’s heart. The recital lasts just 45 minutes so it can only be an excerpt of the larger, two-hour show I’m developing to take on tour that will encompass a cornucopia of flavours, colours and cultures. It’s going to be a musical feast.

So, because 45 minutes is nowhere near enough time to enjoy performing with these guys, after the recital, we’re all piling into cars and going over to Levis’ in Ballydehob to do it all again – AND MORE!  Expect that to kick off around nine. I have no idea what time it will finish, but I can’t wait!!!
