It sometimes happens that we invite artists new to us in Luton to give a concert – and having heard them we all agree on the spot that, so thrilled by what we have just heard, we must simply ask them to return immediately! This is just what happened in the wake of The Kaleidoscope Band’s performance for us last spring. Their musical integrity, sense of drama and the sheer beauty of so much of their playing left us spellbound. We are very pleased that, in our 80th anniversary season, they are returning in a series that is so special to us. This will be an evening of outstanding Baroque repertoire. Please join us.
