Description:
A pocket of creative activity by instrument makers such as the Stanesby, Potter and Urquhart families, led to a vast output of finely crafted, unique flutes in London, examples of which are housed at St Cecilia’s Hall. The Vauxhall Band perform music for flute, violin, cello and harpsichord inspired by stories of the people who made the flutes, performed on them, by composers associated with Vauxhall Gardens and London, including Thomas Arne, Handel, William Boyce, Lewis Granom, Carl Weiss and James Oswald. Supported by the Shackleton Fund and Continuo Foundation.
