Published Date:

THE end of Fiori Musicali's 25th anniversary celebrations is in sight but there are plenty of spectacular concerts to come.
The group will be appearing at Fawsley Church for a spectacular concert on Sunday, October 5.
The programme of music for the night has been designed for autumn, centred around Bach's beautiful 'farewell' cantata Ich habe genug, and also has works from musicians Zelenka and Janitsch.
For the concert, the group will be joined by James Bowman whose impressive career has seen him become one of the world's leading counter tenors for the past 30 years. He has performed in almost every major opera house across the world, including Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Sydney and Vienna.
If you want an evening that is totally unforgettable, there is the chance to dine at Fawsley Hall after the performance.
The concert starts at 7pm with tickets between £10 and £15 with dinner afterwards costing £39. Booking in advance of the performance is recommended due to it being a popular venue.
Future concert dates include performances at St Lawrence Church in Towcester on December 7, with young soprano Grace Davidson, and at the Guildhall in Northampton on December 23.
As part of the 25th anniversary, Fiori Musicali has appeared at some of Northamptonshire's finest stately homes, including Althorp, Aynhoe Park, Courteenhall and Boughton House. The group has also contributed a number of concerts to the Venezia! festival and it is the appearance at stately homes which has been the highlight of the 25th anniversary.
Penelope Rapson, founder of Fiori Musicali, said: "Among the more unusual venues has been the uniquely-arranged orangery at Aynhoe Park and in Althorp we were invited by Lord Spencer to perform in the splendid Picture Gallery."
In addition to appearing in stately homes, they have appeared in a number of smaller venues.
Penelope added: "Fiori's philosophy is that everyone should be able to hear the very best of live classical music, whoever they are, wherever they live, so we take the music to the people."
She is also very pleased Fiori performs with some of the world's leading performers.
She said: "Among our regular performers are many of the leading lights of the early music world, all star performers familiar in the world's great concert halls."
