- ‘Grove Winter Classics Concert 3 - Perth Viol Consort’ - Sunday 21 June, 5pm, The Grove Library. “Step back in time for an exquisite evening of early music as Grove Classics presents the Perth Viol Consort, joined by acclaimed soprano Bonnie de la Huntly.
This richly atmospheric program brings to life the expressive beauty of the viol, paired with the elegance of the human voice, in works by Gibbons, Holborne, Johnson and Caccini. Rarely heard and deeply evocative, this music is intimate, refined and perfectly suited to the warm acoustic of The Grove Library.
