Consortium5 music performances in the Orangery
Consortium5 visited GOSH to play a morning of live music in the
Orangery on the 12th of July 2006. This performance was very generously
provided by Music in Hospitals with the kind support of the Diana,
Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
Consortuium 5 is a brilliant,
award-winning recorder quintet of students who have recently graduated
from the Royal Academy of Music. The group specialise in music
from the 17th and 18th centuries – popular dance and folk tunes
from all over Europe, ranging from slow and stately to quick and
lively, with some virtuoso playing from ensemble members. Consortium5
also performed some arrangements of more recent musical styles,
including an excellent version of Henry Mancini’s Pink Panther
theme. The
ensemble also encouraged the audience to take part and have a
go at playing some instruments.
