In 1747 the aging Johann Sebastian Bach visited the cosmopolitan court of the young and highly musical King Frederick the Great of Prussia. This was the catalyst for the composition of his great late work Musical Offering dedicated to the king. This programme explores the contrasting styles of Frederick s court composers including Bach s son Carl Philipp Emmanuel and the king himself. It culminates with Bach s monumental Trio Sonata from Musical Offering. The magnificent eighteenth century Gothic interior of Strawberry Hill House (built around the same time) provides an atmospheric backdrop. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Frederick II ( the Great ) (1712-1786) FOLLIA is a baroque ensemble with a flexible combination of instrumental and/or vocal musicians as appropriate to the repertoire being performed.

2015 marks the 300 th anniversary of the death of the Sun King, Louis XIV (r.1643 1715) and the accession of his grandson Louis XV (r.1715 1774). These two long-lived-monarchs were contrasting characters and their respective reigns forged very different paths for France. The former stabilized the country after a long period of religious strife and saw a golden age of French culture; the latter overseeing the rise of the decorative rococo style, but also a gradual decline in the prestige of the monarchy, which ultimately led to the French Revolution. This concert explores the music from the reigns of both monarchs, with music by Dieupart, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre (whose 350 th anniversary we celebrate this year), Leclair, Mondonville and Corrette. Jean-Marie Leclair Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre Duo Follia specializes in the rich repertoire of 17th and 18th century music for violin and basso continuo and, in particular, the pioneering repertoire for violin and obbligato harpsichord. Concert presentations include informative and entertaining introductions drawing on the diverse artistic, cultural and historic links with the music. The ensemble particularly enjoys performing in historic venues. Recent concerts have included music by J S Bach and his sons, music for the House of Hanover and entertainments for the Ancien Régime at the Handel House Museum, the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace and Garrick s Temple to Shakespeare.
