PHILIPPA MO @ THE CURTAIN AUTUMN SEASON
GUEST ARTIST William Towers, countertenor WITH PHILIPPA MO, VIOLIN
This wonderful programme explores a wide range of music from Purcell, Hildegarde von Bingen, Tartini, Holst through Three Shakespeare Songs and music to bring in Christmas too as only a superstar operatic countertenor, with perhaps a few extra instruments, and virtuoso violinist can! .... We have had a seriously fantastic time putting this together and hope you will enjoy too!
The Curtain in Shoreditch continues to host its first ever classical series.
The Curtain, named after the Elizabethan playhouse which once stood nearby, is in the thick of Shoreditch revelry.
It’s a short walk to the area’s best bars, restaurants and clubs. Shoreditch High Street is a 5 minute walk and Old Street station is 10 minutes away.
Following on from her success at the Biscuit Factory, Bermondsey which running throughout 2018, Philippa is now appearing at the exclusive venue The Curtain. She is known for presenting eclectic programmes of sublime and sometimes shocking classical music both as virtuoso soloist and alongside her stellar lineup of international guests. The music ranges from earliest Baroque right through to cutting edge contemporary composition.
Enjoy a drink at the LP bar where the concert takes place and get up really close to some live music making in one of the coolest spaces around. Stay after to chat..
