Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Event number: 31
Holy Trinity Church, 7.30pm
£20 full, £17 senior citizens, £5 concessions
Few who have heard them would argue against the assertion that the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is the finest period-style orchestra in the land. But after this magnificent concert I'd go further. The OAE is quite possibly the finest orchestra in the land, period instrument or no, and thus one of the finest in the world.

The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, one of the world's leading period instrument ensembles, presents a concert which is a feast of the Baroque.
