Description
The second live concert in this year's Highgate Festival will also take place in the lovely setting of Highgate School's Victorian chapel.
COVID UPDATE. Since it looks unlikely that the final 'unlock' will happen on 21st June, we have restricted the audience numbers for this concert to 30. Since the Highgate chapels holds over 200 this means that you will be extremely well socially distanced. Following track and trace guidelines, there will be a QR code for you to log into at the chapel or, if you do not have the QR code, we will be taking names and addresses with a good old fashioned pen and paper.

The Festival would like to thank Highgate School, their music director
Jonathan Murphy and the chaplain, Father Robert Easton for generously
allowing us to use their lovely 19th century Gothic chapel for so many of our
concerts.

About the players:
The Korros Ensemble comprises the beautiful and unusual combination of Flute, Clarinet and Harp.
Individually, Camilla, Nick and Eliza are much in demand, working with major UK orchestras. They have been performing as a group since they met in 2001 while studying at the Royal Academy of Music.
Together the Korros Ensemble have collaborated with Ballet Rambert, and Pineapple Dance Studios and had new works written for them by some of the finest British living composers including Patrick Nunn, Andrew Morgan and Olivier Award nominee, Philip Venables.
With a strong vision of adding something new and original to the chamber music world, Korros also reworks and reimagines its favourite repertoire - creating an exciting and fresh way of listening to much loved orchestral, chamber and solo works.
