THE VIRTUOSO RECORDER
Tabea Debus recorders
with
Leeds Baroque Orchestra
Directed by Peter Holman & Asuka Sumi
 
Following the success of their Venetian Summer programme in 2022 Leeds Baroque, director Peter Holman and leader Asuka Sumi, return to The Old Woollen in a programme of lively Baroque Concertos for recorder and orchestra.
There will be familiar works by George Frederick Handel with (perhaps less familiar) works by William Babell  and Giuseppe Sammartini . The Orchestra is delighted to be joined by the internationally renowned German recorder virtuoso, Tabea Debus.

Tabea Debus:
Tabea Debus is the kind of virtuoso who makes you forget how superb she is technically … MusicWeb International 
 a charismatic virtuoso. The Times
 A brilliant recorder player ... Fine, flexible playing... Andrew MacGregor (BBC Radio 3)
Leeds Baroque:

From the Archives
An enquiry about the foundation of Leeds Baroque sent us back to find images of our early performances - and there are very few.
However we did find this (then non-digital) image taken at the National Centre for Early Music in July 2002. Note the historically informed sepia tint!
If you would like to add to our photo archive and have images of our performance  and would like to share them (particularly from early years) please contact the Administrator
