Thank you to the 100,000s who have engaged with us on our various social media channels over the past few months; we have been totally overwhelmed by the response to our performances, our work with community groups and particularly our new work with The Alzheimer’s Society. This new partnership has seen us retrain and repurpose our musicians to work with those living with dementia, ensuring that our performing artists remain relevant, and more importantly employed, throughout these unusual circumstances. We have also been especially moved by the messages from previous audience members who over recent times have no longer been able to attend our live performances and have now had the opportunity to engage with us again, virtually. Many of the changes we have made will now stay in place, but most importantly – concerts are here again!! We asked you, our audience, what you would like to hear, when and how, and were staggered by the positive responses. We have heard you, and we have built these coming months based on precisely what you have told us you want. The most important thing to us is that you and our musicians remain safe, comfortable and relaxed and it is outlined in this brochure how my team will do this. Finally, I want to say a massive thank you to my staff, musicians and to you, our sponsors, patrons and audience members, who have kept music alive both professionally and for our communities across the UK, enabling us to adapt and stay relevant in this fast changing world.

A GERMAN CHRISTMAS (CADOGAN HALL, LONDON) THE INDEPENDENT BRAND NEW PROGRAMME A GERMAN CHRISTMAS PRAETORIUS | CHRISTMAS MASS CORELLI | CHRISTMAS CONCERTO, OP. 6 NO. 8 ARMONICO CONSORT DIRECTOR | CHRISTOPHER MONKS THE ENGLISH CORNETT & SACKBUT ENSEMBLE Over the centuries, the Germans have got two things very right, their Christmas markets and their Christmas music, and Michael Praetorius’ offering to this legacy with his Christmas Mass is simply magnificent. Taking inspiration from the Venetian school, Praetorius surrounds the listener with a number of choral and instrumental groups, using virtuosic combinations of colour, vitality and excitement. The composer then ends the piece with the ‘almost’ surround sound, awe inspiring, 22 part In Dulce Jubilo. The Corelli Concerto Grosso for two solo violins, Op. 6 No. 2 will open the concert. Perhaps the most mesmerising of Corelli’s Concerti Grossi, it is known as the ‘Christmas Concerto from 1690’ and is engraved ‘Fatto per la notte di Natale’ which translates as ‘made for the night of Christmas’. Packed so richly with Baroque indulgence, melodies and incredible, relentless and plainly gorgeous suspensions, it is one of the finest examples of Baroque music in this form. ‘It is TUE 01 DEC 20 | 7.30PM Italian!?!’ we hear you shout...The logic behind The Collegiate Church including this work in our German Christmas of St Mary, Warwick programme is this is that, whilst German TICKETS: £23.50 musical styles dominated the composers in 01926 334418 or Europe across the centuries, Praetorius so www.armonico.org.uk clearly demonstrates that the influence on his music was simply Italian, so what better excuse SAT 19 DEC 20 | 7.30PM to include this fabulous work by Corelli.

Dear Customer, Glorious sunshine and summer temperatures prevail as this foreword is being written, but we suspect it will all be over by the time you are reading it! On the plus side, at least that means we might be able to tempt you into investing in a little more listening material before the outside weather arrives for real… We were pleasantly surprised by the number of new releases appearing late April and into May, as you may be able to tell by the slightly-longer-than-usual new release portion of this catalogue. Warner & Erato certainly have plenty to offer us, taking up a page and half of the ‘priorities’ with new recordings from Nigel Kennedy, Philippe Jaroussky, Emmanuel Pahud, David Aaron Carpenter and others, alongside some superbly compiled boxsets including a Massenet Opera Collection, performances from Joseph Keilberth (in the ICON series), and two interesting looking Debussy collections: ‘Centenary Discoveries’ and ‘His First Performers’. Rachel Podger revisits Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for Channel Classics (already garnering strong reviews), Hyperion offer us five new titles including Schubert from Marc-Andre Hamelin and Berlioz from Lawrence Power and Andrew Manze (see ‘Disc of the Month’ below), plus we have strong releases from Sandrine Piau (Alpha), the Belcea Quartet joined by Piotr Anderszewski (also Alpha), Magdalena Kozena (Supraphon), Osmo Vanska (BIS), Boris Giltberg (Naxos) and Paul McCreesh (Signum).
