“Palisander – making recorders phenomenally interesting and exciting” Katie Derham
Palisander prides itself on presenting imaginative, historical programmes with a wide range of repertoire on recorders up to 6 feet tall. Devising their own choreography, as well as writing new compositions and unique arrangements for the ensemble, the group’s members are keen ambassadors for the recorder’s versatility.
Programme
Double, Double Toil and Trouble
Throughout the ages, music and magic have been intrinsically linked. Featuring music by Tartini, JS Bach and Hildegard von Bingen, alongside renaissance consort music and contemporary works, the performance explores the historic relationship between music and the magical spectrum: including elements of mathematics, philosophy, nature, religion and the occult.
