This seven piece chamber
group specialises in palm court music and
searches through music archives and
libraries to find unjustly neglected
scores. They try the material out in
their summer holidays and present what
they have enjoyed playing most at their
annual London concert on the May Bank
Holiday. To give you a taste of the music
on the programme here is a little film of
their rehearsal week on Corsica in 2023: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOmBV2yUx3U
