#FunFact: Two of the works on our upcoming programme were previously believed to be composed by our very own #Mozart. What's the link, we hear you ask? Come along next week and find out!

By far the least known composer in our programme, we're excited to present music by #Abel: renowned viola da gamba player/composer who settled in London in 1759.

We reckon Abel was quite able, but don't take our word for it - come hear for yourself! 😉

Introducing our soloists for #Mozart's Sinfonia concertante: violinist Michelle Dierx and violist Edward Keenan! Both Michelle and Edward frequently play with some of the UK's finest orchestras and ensembles. Tickets available at https://t.co/mQGJzD0p0H 😀

[Opera dei Lumi @OperaDeiLumi]

We're psyched to be performing #Abel's Symphony in E-flat in #Newcastle and #EdinburghFringe - originally believed to be by #Mozart because he copied it for study. A great piece, and definitely worth hearing if you don't know it! Come along, 11+12 August!

[Opera dei Lumi @OperaDeiLumi]

Excited to be returning to @FenhamMusicJB on Thursday 11 August with music by #haydn #mozart and others! Come along if you're in #Newcastle! @whatsonne @whatsonnorth https://t.co/HklsULgyBo

We're massively excited to be returning to @edfringe for the first time since 2018! Ever wondered how #Mozart got to be so good? Join us as we explore his life and influences in music at @CanongateKirk on 12 August! https://t.co/IBNGUACAkS

@DLSneurocyclist Glad you enjoyed and thank you for coming!

We had our first day of rehearsals today for this weekend's Martines and Haydn performances. For many of the musicians in the room it was the first rehearsal we'd been in since March 2020. So wonderful to be back!
