Soloist Karin Schaupp, Guitar
There's nothing quite like a therapeutic morning of rousing dances, musical beauty spots and classical swoons to sooth savage souls and the ravages of the working week. Join us and our guest artist Karin Schaupp for a program that will transport you to paradise gardens. Cavatina from The Deer Hunter, music from Romeo and Juliet, and Borodin's gorgeous Nocturne feature in this program of tantalising melodies and timeless beauty.
