Samantha Cohen from Ludovico’s Band writes about their upcoming performance on 15 May. You can purchase tickets here.
When Ludovico’s Band formed 10 years ago, Melbourne was crying out for a chamber music venue. We couldn’t have imagined a better space than Melbourne Recital Centre’s Salon in which to create our sound and connect with our audience.
In April, we opened our 2012 concert series in the Salon with Destination Italy. It was so exciting to get back to our roots and – in celebration of Marshall McGuire’s return to Melbourne after five years in Western Australia – do what we do best.
In programming our next performance, Destination England, we really wanted to include some songs by Purcell and Dowland – such timeless examples of expression in our own language. We’re thrilled to be working with guest artist, Tim Reynolds, for this concert. Complimented by some instrumental airs and dances by Matteis, Locke and Playford, the audience is in for a treat!
