Bell House

Join Madera for an exploration of flute, recorder and ‘cello music

Taken from a variety of settings – ranging from the grandeur of the royal courts of early 18th century Europe to music intended for more intimate, domestic surroundings.

This music is perfectly suited to the beautiful setting of Bell House, bringing alive the sounds of the era in which it was built.

MADERA 
Madera is a Baroque ensemble comprising of founder members Lesley Holliday and David Beaney on Baroque flutes and recorders. The ensemble often expands to include harpsichordist Claire Williams when performing trio sonatas, and string players for larger scale works. The name derives from the Spanish, relating to objects constructed of wood. This is particularly apt for the type of instruments that the musicians play, being copies of 18th century originals. Having performed extensively throughout the UK, the ensemble is renowned for its innovative programmes reflecting the surprising wealth of music written for flutes in duos and other contexts presented in a fresh, lively manner. They have also developed a reputation for encouraging young musicians through their school workshops.
