Join Alison Melville , in a virtual session on duets from the 16^th to 21^st centuries.

Join Rachel Begley in a virtual session. She performs as a soloist and with ensembles across North America, and has been hailed for her virtuosic and sensitive playing on both recorders and historical bassoons (bio).

She will present a session on ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’. At the end of the day, we say our farewells, we say our prayers, we sing lullabies, we clean our teeth, and when all of that is done, hopefully we drift off to sleep.  The theme of this playing meeting is music connected with these evening rituals.
