We are delighted to be invited by John and Barbara Hyde to their beautiful home at Blithfield for a special afternoon combining fine music and hospitality.
Set within the elegant surroundings of Blithfield, this event offers guests the rare opportunity to enjoy an intimate harpsichord recital in a private home, followed by a relaxed and indulgent afternoon tea.
The harpsichord recital will take place in the Drawing Room at 2.30pm and will be performed by Dellal McDonald. The programme will explore music from the Baroque era, with a particular focus on French composers, complemented by a generous selection of German Baroque works. The repertoire may include music by Bach, Handel, or perhaps both, promising a richly varied and engaging musical experience.
Following afternoon tea, John Hyde has also kindly offered a tour of the Grove for those who wish to partake, weather permitting.
