Performances

Newe Vialles are performing the second set in the first ever Wood, Wind, Wire concert.

Entry+ glass of wine £8, musicians £5.

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.

The Newe Vialles play music from the Shirley Partbooks, copied by William Lawes in the 1620s and featuring some of the most beautiful works from the ‘golden age' of English consort music, including pieces by Ferrabosco, Coprario, Bull, Lupo and Lawes himself.

Newe Vialles opens the tenth International Festival of Viols at the Royal College of Music with some of the greatest early 17th-century instrumental works.

The programme features music from the Shirley Part Books, compiled by William Lawes for the Shirley family and including works by the composer himself, Monteverdi, Alfonso Ferrabosco II and Lawes' own teacher, Coprario.

Members of Newe Vialles join a host of renowned players with the UK premiere of twelve recently discovered Fantasies for Viol by Philip Telemann.
