    Overview

    Ian Page and The Mozartists start their new season with an enticing programme of music composed in London during the 1760s. This was the London that the young Mozart visited in in 1764-65, the London of Dr Johnson and David Garrick, of William Hogarth and Horace Walpole, and music enjoyed unprecedented popularity, not just in the theatres at Haymarket, Drury Lane and Covent Garden but also at house-parties, the famous Bach-Abel concert series and the celebrated Pleasure Gardens at Ranelagh, Vauxhall and Marylebone.

    This wide-ranging programme of popular hits from the 1760s features two recent winners of the prestigious Kathleen Ferrier Award – soprano Jessica Cale (making her eagerly anticipated company debut) and tenor Alessandro Fisher, currently a BBC New Generation Artist – and Ian Page conducts his award-winning period-instrument orchestra.
