Insieme

The Spark in the Quiet is a programme built from the moments when music calls me back to the recorder - those times when a melancholic line from Dowland, a phrase by Bach, a flourish from Vivaldi, the warmth of an Irish Air, or the clarity of a modern piece lifts the instrument into my hands almost by instinct. These works, though from different centuries and traditions, share a quiet charge: a spark that lights up stillness and reminds me why I play. Alongside voice, strings and piano, this recital follows that thread of gently rekindled inspiration, tracing how the recorders voice can move gently through time while always returning to the simple joy of breath, sound, and renewal.
