Ensemble Augelletti
The Morning Star
Olwen Foulkes (recorders), Ellen Bundy (violin), Toby Carr (lute), Benedict Williams (harpsichord)
We are delighted to welcome BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Baroque Ensemble back to York as they present their new Christmas programme.
On the 23rd December 1784, a letter by York-based astronomer Edward Pigott recounting his discovery of a new variable star made York the centre of the astronomical world. In this programme Ensemble Augelletti celebrate some extraordinary stories of 17th- and 18th-century astronomers with music named after stars, angels, and 17th-century Christmas sonatas. Programme to include music by Corelli, Schmelzer, Uccellini and settings of ‘How beautifully shines the morning star’.
