Grant from the Continuo Foundation

Fiori are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Continuo Foundation for our Autumn/Winter series! This is fantastic news enabling us to give four exciting performances between now and the end of January:

12 Days of Christmas at Woodford cum Membris 9 December with members of His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts and the Fiori choir
12 Days of Christmas programme repeated at All Saints’ Parish Church, Bakewell 19 December
Mr Handel’s Messiah at Northampton Cathedral on 22 December
Telemann’s World at Northampton Museum & Art Gallery on 27 January

The Continuo Foundation’s aim is “to help UK period-instrument ensembles to create inspiring live music experiences for more people in more places, enhancing the lives of musicians and audiences of all ages in communities across the country.” To date, the Continuo Foundation have supported 95 projects engaging in over 630 freelance musicians, “…touring to under-served areas of the UK.” This is a vision about which Fiori also care passionately.

Meet the team – Heidi Fardell

On the occasion of Fiori Musicali’s performance of their ‘Vivaldi’s Venice’ at Bilton Grange Chapel, I thought I’d have a chat with one of the main instrumentalists of the evening, Heidi Fardell. Heidi’s instrument is quite familiar for many of us. It’s often the first experience that we have playing music. ‘London’s Burning’ might give you a clue.
