Rococos

The Rococos are a flexible group of Suffolk musicians specialising in the music of the late-17th and 18th centuries. Our basic line-up is flute, violin, cello and keyboard, although all of us sometimes play other instruments. Our instruments are either originals, or copies of instruments made at the time in which the music was written, apart from our specialist electronic harpsichord (whose sounds are sampled from historical instruments). We therefore aim to reproduce the music in a sound, and style, which would have been familiar to the composers whose music we play. Our programme at Houghton on the Hill is of music by German and French baroque composers. Wine and light refreshments will be available. Ample parking at the Church. Book Tickets
