Every concert feels special these days but this one especially. What a treat playing Handel’s German arias for violin & soprano with the incredible Carolyn Sampson. Wonderful playing with Julian, Jonny & rising star Emma for Coram. Thanks to all involved! @PluckyPerkins @Coram

2/2 "Dinner with Handel" by Stephen Pettit and @PluckyPerkins was a gorgeously witty pasticcio which deserves to be seen again and again. #handeliade (See James Laing in Tamerlano next spring) @CHOC1685

We are hugely grateful to the @ContinuoFndn for awarding us a grant for our #Purcell project with @helencharlston - 'I love and I must'. This organization is a crucial catalyst for artistic projects.
Many congratulations to all the other recipients.

Our opera pasticcio by #StephenPettitt and @PluckyPerkins - plus a few others! - is born.
Getting all set for the #Handeliade for @HandelHendrix next week...

[Julian Perkins 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 @PluckyPerkins]

It's not everyday that one gets to play the clavichord in Handel's bedroom!

Shepherds, nymphs and tantalizing hopes for requited love... It must be a Baroque cantata! @CHOC1685 launched its #Cantata-thon yesterday with the delectable @helencharlston @TheJockeyClub
Next instalment soon!

'Speaking in Tones'
Join us this Tuesday at 6.30pm to find out our approach to recitative in Handel's #Tamerlano. How can historical stagecraft bring these action-packed passages to life?

I'm planning my debut CD of Purcell's most exquisite songs with @PluckyPerkins & @soundsbaroque - please support us if you can! All the profits will go to @HelpMusiciansUK https://t.co/rNpJ6PQJI0

[Julian Perkins 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 @PluckyPerkins]

Pleasure! THANK YOU for all that you do to support us musicians. I hope my project can raise some funds to help support fellow musicians.

[Julian Perkins 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 @PluckyPerkins]

BRAVI TUTTI.
Such a privilege for us @soundsbaroque to perform with students from @guildhallschool for such an important cause - even if I have serious bearskin envy this year!

[Julian Perkins 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 @PluckyPerkins]

Tomorrow @Coram celebrates Handel's 335th birthday so as to raise funds to help vulnerable children - a vital cause close to Handel's own heart. Do come along - and/or donate!

[Julian Perkins 🇬🇧 🇮🇹 @PluckyPerkins]

What better way to celebrate #Handel than the 'Handel Birthday Concert' @Coram, that raises funds for vulnerable children. Time allowing, check out the video from Handel's 334th birthday last year!
