Experience the magic of chamber music in the Long Gallery at Doddington Hall this May.

The Bloomsbury Players – Schubert Octet

A rare chance to experience this masterpiece performed by renowned musicians on historical instruments, showcased alongside new arrangements of Schubert’s songs that inspired his instrumental chamber music.

The Bloomsbury Players was formed to explore the rich chamber music repertoire from the classical to late romantic periods and beyond, that is less commonly performed on period instruments and with a historical approach. Renowned string and wind players in the fields of historical and ‘modern’ performance who prioritise the shared values of chamber collaboration, they perform around the world as soloists, chamber musicians and orchestral principals with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Academy of Ancient Music and the English Concert among others.

The ensemble brings a sense of joy and discovery to their interpretations, exploring performance practices of the time to re-imagine the sound-worlds that might have existed when these pieces were newly composed.

Enjoy English sparkling wine and canapés on arrival in the Great Hall before taking your seat in the Long Gallery for an enchanting evening of chamber music.
