For nearly 40 years, Fretwork has been celebrated as the world’s leading viol consort.
Returning to the Playhouse for the first time in over a decade, these acclaimed musicians share a playful and imaginative evening of music. Together, they trace a journey through core viol repertoire from Byrd and Weelkes, a Bach transcription, arrangements of great romantic works and Arvo Pärt’s stirring modern classic ‘Fratres’. The concert culminates in an arrangement of a Kate Bush classic by one of Britain’s leading contemporary composers.
