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.

Happy 30th birthday Fiori Musicali

Fiori Musicali take a trip to yet another stunning location this Sunday 11th August to mark 30 years since their founding. And what a show you can expect!

Take a trip to Castle Ashby to celebrate high summer!

Fiori Musicali play concertos from baroque greats Vivaldi, Handel and Bach – in the ancient church of St Mary Magdalene 28 July 2013.

To celebrate high summer, Fiori will delight you with a performance of music from the high baroque (a phrase to describe music from the latter years of the baroque period 1600-1750) in their annual summer concert in the beautiful estate church at Castle Ashby.

What’s on the Fiori Journey

Fiori have a brilliant weekend lined up so I thought it only polite to let you know what’s on.

Fiori’s friends at the National Trust are hosting their live rehearsal on Saturday afternoon at the stunning Canon’s Ashby. It’s an open rehearsal which means that anyone can drop in and listen for free!

Canons Ashby

Fiori Musicali have a residency at Canons Ashby which saw them perform at the National Trust several times last week. Every performance there is special but it was even more so this week as it was to celebrate the opening of the newly restored baroque gardens and to commemorate 300 years of baroque composer Corelli.

Have you promised yourself that you’ll get out a bit more this year? Perhaps you’re like me and want to find more out about the history of Northamptonshire and the beautiful location in the county? Maybe you’d like see more live musical performances? Well, this is a post for you!

Fiori’s answer to Glastonbury!

It’s not often that you hear of a classical music concert likened to the mudfest that is Glastonbury but that’s just what you can expect from Fiori Musicali’s midsummer concert at Wolfhampcote. Obviously just without the mud and rain!
