Explore the music of Arcangelo Corelli, a contemporary of Bach, with pianist Gwilym Simcock and violinist Thomas Gould. Using two of Corelli’s sonatas for violin and keyboard as their starting point, the duo will improvise personal responses to the pieces showing the many similarities between music of the baroque period and the world of jazz, culminating in a performance of Corelli’s famous ‘La Folia’ variations like no other.
