One of our missions at VBF is to build bridges between our past and present. As well as putting on Baroque music performances with a twist, we also commission and showcase reimaginations of Baroque music. Last year, a panel awarded our Purcell Reimagined commission to the fabulous composer Euchar Gravina.

We're thrilled to share a recording of his piece - two Purcell fragments - with you today, performed by bass-baritone Tristan Hambleton and pianist Simon Lepper. The video also features interviews with Euchar, Tristan, Simon and our patron James Bowman CBE.
