Sarah Small: Good Again? Viola da Gamba Recital

Event Information

Bringing the rich, resonant tones of the Viola da Gamba, Sarah Small has recently completed an extraordinary cycling tour of over 4500km across the UK, committed to a sustainable, low-impact journey in harmony with the environment. Her performance, Good Again?, weaves together exquisite baroque melodies and contemporary influences, creating a deeply moving experience.

On tour, Sarah has performed in an eclectic range of venues in places such as Shetland, the Outer Hebrides, Lindisfarne and all across mainland UK before taking a sailboat to France to share her music with rural audiences throughout the country, captivating audiences with her rare instrument and heartfelt playing. This is a rare opportunity to witness an artist who not only masters her craft but also embodies a mission of sustainability and artistry.

Here's Sarah performing live with a harpsichordist:
