In a very special programme favourite British fiddlers Christian Garrick and Peter Fisher return to pay homage to two fiddling giants, Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane Grappelli.

In the 1970s Menuhin and Grappelli embarked on one of the most unlikely yet memorable, globally successful classical-jazz crossover collaborations of all times. Between the years of 1973 and 1985 they recorded a staggering 100 tracks across seven different albums for EMI. The unique and unforgettable partnership of two of the 20^th Century’s most celebrated violinists is the major focus for this gala concert.

Menuhin and Grappelli's legacy is brilliantly rekindled by two of today's finest fiddlers, Christian Garrick and Peter Fisher, who appositely mirror the original protagonists with their devilishly dazzling skill on four strings, supported by John Horler - piano, Alec Dankworth - double bass and Tom Hooper - drums

Formed by ex-Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight, the Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music; a union of several of the biggest names on the folk-roots scene. Their high-energy, virtuosic performances blend riotous inventiveness, technically gifted individual playing and subtle collaborative interaction, appealing equally to traditionalists and to those looking for something more experimental.

For an evening of magnificent Baroque exuberance, Twickenham Choral’s first concert in almost two years would be hard to beat.

Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach’s elaborate setting of the Magnificat is a son’s tribute to his great father, with nods too in the direction of his godfather Telemann, while Handel’s much-loved Dixit Dominus, unarguably one of his greatest choral works, is a showpiece for singers and string players alike – vivacious, triumphant and brilliant.

We are excited to be accompanied once again by the Brandenburg Baroque Soloists and four dazzling young singers, as we approach our Centenary in 2022.

Conductor Christopher Herrick; Brandenburg Baroque Soloists Alexandra Kidgell (Soprano), Alexandra Gibson (Alto), Mark Dobell (Tenor), Ben Davies (Bass).

Along with Mark Knopfler, John was a founder member of the legendary band who, during their time together, sold over 120 million albums.

The evening will feature classics from the Dire Straits history and include a Q & A with video clips led by Paul Cummins. John will reveal the story and development of the band from its humble beginnings in a council flat in South London, where songs like Sultans of Swing and Wild West End were created, to their journey playing all over the world to millions of fans and working with some of the world’s most influential and creative musicians and producers.

Having Mark Knopfler as songwriter, singer and guitar player in the band gave Dire Straits its unique character. It was a pleasure for me to be able to contribute to the distinctive sound of the band, and enjoy the friendship and musical journey that Mark and I shared.

John will be joined on stage by members of his band to perform music from the whole DS catalogue including Money for Nothing, Brothers in Arms, Romeo and Juliet and Sultans of Swing.

It promises to be a special, intimate evening looking into the life and times of one of the biggest rock & roll bands of all time.
