Town Lectures and Concerts 2019

This year will be the twentieth series of the highly popular Town Lectures and Concerts.
The lectures present Ipswich, with its rich history and cultural background through the
eyes of Suffolk-based speakers and with concert performances from local musicians.

Concert – 8 August

ZEPHYR BAROQUE
Recorder: Liz Alexander · Harpsichord: Geraldine Taylor · Baroque bassoon: Karen Bainbridge
This group of friends, all local music teachers and performers, first appeared at the
300th Anniversary celebration of Framlingham’s Unitarian Chapel in 2017, subsequently
giving two recitals at St Mary le Tower’s lunchtime series. They are delighted to present
a varied programme of music from c1700–1750, featuring one, two and three players.
All the instruments used are copies of those first created in that era, and the players
describe their origins and how they differ from their modern equivalents.
