Baroque and Contemporary String Music
Stone Nest, Soho
15th February 2025 | 7pm
Following our sold out performances of Our Mother last year ("[FIGURE's] reimagination of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater has a timeless directness and simplicity" — The Guardian), Frederick Waxman and FIGURE return to Stone Nest for another intimate musical experience. Watch an up-close performance of baroque masterpieces by Corelli, Handel and van Wassenaer contrasted by contemporary compositions by Caroline Shaw, Edmund Finnis, and a specially commissioned world premiere by rising star Joanna Ward.
Figure is very grateful to the Maria Björnson Memorial Fund for their generous support of this production.
