Sounds of St Cecilia's IV: Fit for a Flute is a classical music concert performed by Gerry McDonald and John Kitchen at The Concert Room as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The programme contrasts three of Corelli's violin sonatas in early eighteenth-century transcriptions for recorder with JS Bach's arrangements of two of Vivaldi's violin concertos for solo keyboard, played on the 1764 Hass harpsichord. The concert runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and over. Proceeds are donated to the Friends of St Cecilia's Hall and Museum Bursary Fund.
Why see this show?
Corelli, Bach, and Vivaldi performed on period instruments — including a harpsichord from 1764 — in one of Edinburgh's finest historic concert rooms. The proceeds support a bursary fund, making this an evening that is good for the soul in more than one sense.
