About this event
Chris Green’s Switched-on Playford was inspired by Wendy Carlos’ seminal 1968 recording Switched-on Bach. It reimagines and revoices 17th and 18th century English country dances using a blend of electronic, modern and early instruments to create music that is vibrant and new but also deeply rooted in and respectful of its source.
Please note: seating is limited and will only be available for those with pre-booked tickets. We expect this event to be very popular. At times access to Blackwell Hall may be controlled to enable all visitors to enjoy the event.
