• There’s a most unfortunate clash of wonderful baroque concerts on Sunday evening (July 22), both starting at 6.30pm.
At St Stephen’s, Rosslyn Hill, fabulous flautist Ashley Solomon, a key player with the crack Florilegium ensemble, is playing with the Linden Baroque Orchestra. The programme includes Bach cantatas and Telemann fantasies and suites – and super soloists are singing in the concert to boot.
At the same time at St Saviour’s, Chalk Farm, François Couperin’s famed Trois Lecons de tenebres – Lamentations of Jeremiah – is being performed. Singing are stupendous sopranos Dame Emma Kirkby and Emily Atkinson accompanied by Reiko Ichise on viola da gamba and Timothy Roberts on the organ.
St Stephen’s, Rosslyn Hill, Hampstead, 6.30pm, £12/ cons, www.lindenbaroque.org
