TOTNES COMES TO TOPSHAM
The Totnes based 'Pressenda Ensemble'
will be at St. John's Church, Bridgetown, Totnes
on Sunday 27th April at 3pm
 |
| Malcolm Latcham Leader of the Pressenda Ensemble |
The programme features three Concertos by Vivaldi.
Nicknamed "The Red Priest" because of his hair (not his politics),
he was appointed teacher of violin at the Ospedale della Pietà,
one of four institutions devoted to the care
of orphaned and abandoned children in Venice .
Vivaldi composed over 500 concertos,
mostly intended to be performed
by the youngsters of the school,
probably at the Sunday morning services,
which were reputed to be more like
fully fledged concerts than an act of worship!
Also featured in this programme is music composed
by other musicians equally noted as teachers:
Imogen Holst: Teacher at Dartington College of Arts 1943-5;
Clive Jenkins: Director of Music at Plymouth College (two pieces);
Harold Darke: Organist at St Michael's Cornhill, City of London;
Antonín Dvořák: Composition Teacher, Prague Conservatorium.
Tickets for the Bridgetown concert can be obtained from
