To honour the life and legacy of viola da gamba virtuoso and Guildhall School alumnus Richard Campbell, his friends, family, former pupils and colleagues have assembled a programme as varied as Richard’s own musical interests.
This concert includes music by Bach, William Lawes, and the premiere of a new work for viola da gamba. It also marks the foundation of a trust created in his memory, which will make two of Richard’s more exotic instruments, the lirone and bandora, available to Guildhall students and the broader London early music community.
