    Event Description:

    “It’ll be a really fun show with some of the most insanely talented musicians playing some of the best music ever written… All you have to know is - do you like a good tune? Because we’re going to be playing a ton of those.” - Chris Addison

    Chris Addison (The Thick of It, Mock the Week, Spinal Tap II) joins Music in the Round to bring his infectious enthusiasm for classical music to The Stables

    Telling the story of Europe from the courts of 17th century Italy, through the political and social revolutions of 18th and 19th century Europe, to the weird and wonderful sounds conjured by today’s contemporary composers, Chris takes us on a journey through the rich, vibrant – and sometimes bizarre – history of classical chamber music.

    Featuring live performances from some of the UK’s finest musicians and the inimitable curiosity and wit of Chris Addison’s storytelling, this will be an evening of insight, laughter and spine-tingling music.

    Programme includes extracts from:

    CORELLI Trio Sonata da Camera Op.2 No.1 in D 
    STROZZI Che si può fare Op.8
    JS BACH Prelude from Cello Suite No.1 in G
