There's just one further performance in Cornwall tonight but the website suggests there may be more to follow in London in the autumn. Highly recommended!
On a beautiful summer's evening I drove over to Lyde Court near Hereford for a performance of Perola Barroca - a show about the little-known baroque composer Zipoli, who after studying in Florence and Rome travelled to Paraguay where his music was widely performed. It's a fascinating story, told by countertenor Will Towers, who also wrote the libretto. Eloise Irving is the Roman noblewoman and patroness with whom he falls in love, and they sing to the accompaniment of two violins (Miles Golding and Charlotte Fairbairn), cello Sophie Gledhill, and Mark Latimer, keyboards and musical director.

Jill Davies has spent most of her life immersed in music, from sitting under the piano while her mum gave lessons to taking up the ukulele a couple of years ago. She's an agent (mainly for singers) by day, has a personal record of going to 12 concerts in 3 days, and can't decide whether it's more fun to sing Elgar partsongs or play Gibbons viol consorts.
