Turner Sims Southampton tomorrow T'uesday 15 October

I only just heard about this and have just booked.

In 1737 Telemann visited Paris at the invitation of some of the greatest musicians in France.

Join us to celebrate the prominent musicians who had such a positive impact on Telemann and his work....

R3 seems to have missed a trick as they are not recording this, given by 'the first ever BBC Radio 3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble'.

As I have remarked before I don't think R3 is particularly interested in Baroque/Early music in general, but even so it does seem odd not to celebrate the NGA group. There is much made of the members, past and present, in other programmes and recordings.
