April 2018 - Blog

Our April blog is brought to you from Hanna Tracz, one of the violinists in the outstanding Southbank Sinfonia Orchestra, ahead of her performance in our 'Music for Kings' concert on 13 April.

She provides her guide to playing the music from the special programme of Handel, Purcell, Corelli, Bach and Rameau and explains her approach to the music and how she works with the orchestra to bring to life the music of the past.

I've just finished practicing Schumann's 'Rhenish' Symphony, Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony is still ringing from our rehearsals with Cardinal Vaughan School, and I am already thinking of the contemporary concert in late April. But now it's time for a programme we will be playing in our Rush Hour concert and as part of the London Handel Festival. I have music by Purcell, Corelli, Bach, Rameau and obviously Handel on my music stand. Baroque! This is truly a breath of fresh air! What should I start with? Ok, let's take Bach first.
