CaroleCerasi Concert

Elizabethan and Baroque music in the beautiful setting of Enys House. Gardens open from 6pm

This is a rare opportunity to hear what is thought to be one of the first virginals concerts in Cornwall. Carole Cerasi will be entertaining us in Enys House, Penryn, TR10 9LB, where you are invited to view the beautiful Enys Gardens from 6pm (entry free of charge to advance ticket holders)

Carole is regarded as one of the leading exponents of early keyboard music in the UK. Her many performances have received great critical acclaim and her recordings have garnered an impressive series of awards. The Gramophone describes her as “a Player of taste and superb technique”, while classics.com talks of “Sublime performances… simply breathtaking, all thunder and lightning.” Before the interval, Carole will play a recital of Elizabethan music on the virginals; entirely fitting for the Platinum Jubilee of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II as it was the favoured instrument played of the Virgin Queen, her namesake, Elizabeth I. As the evening progresses, Carole will move to the harpsichord to play music from the baroque era.
