Philippa Mo in Concert

“Dissolve O My Heart” Philippa Mo solo violin plays unaccompanied Bach & Telemann

Philippa Mo is one of the most exciting solo violinists in the UK

In this winter early evening concert, Philippa performs the Partita in D minor by Bach, one of the most deeply contemplative of pieces in one of the most evocative waterside holy place in Cornwall. With its astonishingly complex final movement the Chaconne, a dance over a ground bass with 64 variations the Partita concludes. Missy Mazzoli is a groundbreaking composer from New York who responds to the opening of the Chaconne in her mesmerising piece Dissolve, O my Heart. Telemann, Bach’s friend and contemporary casts an elegant Baroque pathwith his solo fantasias contrasting with Bach’s own Cello Suite no 4 dand is answered by the exciting young British composer Leo Geyer.

Leo wrote Guarea for Philippa to perform here in Cornwall at the Barbara Hepworth Garden in St Ives and the music comments on the exotic wood and shapes of Barbara Hepworth's most famous sculptures. To concert will finish with an upward trajectory and the idea of flight into the beyond (of fancy, of fantasy), a tiny gem, Bumblebees by Cyril Scott.
