Enlightenment!
Peter Sheppard Skaerved - Violin
Philippa Mo - Violin

In his novel, Julie, ou la Nouvelle Heloïse (1761) Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) announced: * I have always believed that good is none other than Beauty in Action, that the one is inextricably bound up with the other and that both have a common source in well-ordered nature. This became the ‘gold standard’, by which his disciples judged musical and personal worth.
An evening exploring the ‘musical enlightenment’ from the punchy radicalism of Swift, to Locatelli’s transcendal musings. The programme will include:
