Following last year's sell-out concert the Jopes Ensemble returns to St Buryan Church with a new programme of great music in a beautiful candlelit setting. For this concert we are joined by Emma Beach (oboe) who will play Albinoni's Oboe Concerto No. 2 and Gabriel's Oboe (the theme from the film The Mission). Nathaniel Jones will perform Bach's ever popular A minor Violin Concerto. You will also hear music by Mozart, Vivaldi, Purcell, Pachelbel and more played by the virtuoso Jopes Ensemble.

Our guest soloist for the evening is oboist Emma Beach. Emma studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and is currently completing her masters in Germany. She has performed with orchestras in the UK and Germany, most recently with the Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra which performs all its concerts from memory!
