Willingdon House Music: Pandemonium
When lockdown started last year, four musicians who lived together started playing regular house concerts which were streamed live on Facebook. So Flavia Hirte (flute & traverso), Ellen Bundy (violin, viola & baroque violin), Max Mausen (clarinet & bass clarinet), and Nicola Barbagli (oboe, cor anglais, baroque oboe, recorders & accordion) became known as Willingdon House Music, playing a wide variety of repertoire from the 17th century through to contemporary, including a number of works written specially for the ensemble, from purely classical to folk and beyond.

I've managed to miss Jorge's Handel performances at the Göttingen Handel Festival and do look forward to being able to hear him live in the UK soon. Willingdon House Music is a group of four musicians, Max Mausen (I reviewed Max's debut CD back in 2015), Flavia Hirte, Nicola Barbagli, and Ellen Bundy, living together, who make music regularly on Facebook with delightful programmes ranging from Bach to Bartok to folk-music. Violinist Tasmin Little was on BBC Radio 4 playing Harold Arlen's Somewhere over the rainbow, but only got to play a few notes, so she and her […]
