These are three from a group of concertos that Mozart arranged to be play à Quattro; with a string quartet and fortepiano rather than full orchestra. The transparency of the texture brings great clarity, vitality and freshness to these familiar and well-loved works played by Geoffrey Govier with some of the leading members of the renowned early music orchestras.

Tinariwen
First gig of their Blues, rock and soul from the Sahara national tour
Event number: 44
The Electric Theatre, 8pm
£18 full/senior citizens, £15 concessions
Rebellion and rock'n'roll have been strutting hand-in-hand for more than half a century, but only very rarely has their union involved real weapons and a painfully real struggle for survival. Tinariwen fought a rebellion in the early 1990s to win greater freedom and self-determination for the Touareg people of the southern Sahara. The fight was brief and bloody but it gave birth to a whole new style of desert music, powered by rolling camel-gait rhythms and the electric guitars. Tinariwen invented the style and used it to carry their message of desert pride and survival to the four corners of the globe. They are originators, survivors, the Stones and the Clash of the Sahara all rolled into one. Tinariwen's roots rock rebellion is one of the most entrancing sounds to emerge from Africa in years. An amazing chance to see this unique band close-up.
