Palisander Recorders in Antidotum Arachne 31st Oct 2016 at the Library Theatre Map
On the night of Halloween we explore music and the spider! The four players of Palisander Recorders are joined by a theorbo in an inventive programme of period tarantellas, Vivaldi’s ‘nightmare’ concerto and a selection of other more contemporary works. This will be a stimulating synthesis of the old and the new but arachnophobes might like to bring a friend in case the going gets tough!
‘17th Century victims of spider bites were offered no medicinal cure or relief. Instead the local musicians would work together to find a curative melody…’
