We are delighted to welcome BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Baroque Ensemble back to York as they present their new Christmas programme.
On the 23rd December 1784, a letter by York-based astronomer Edward Pigott recounting his discovery of a new variable star made York the centre of the astronomical world. In this programme Ensemble Augelletti celebrate some extraordinary stories of 17th- and 18th-century astronomers with music named after stars, angels, and 17th-century Christmas sonatas. Programme to include music by Corelli, Schmelzer, Uccellini and settings of ‘How beautifully shines the morning star’.

“this is a group whose enthusiasm is infectious” Martin Dreyer
