The Taste of a Nation - New Spiritato! recording

It all begins with an idea.

In February 2020, we will embark on a new adventure; the start of a long-term relationship with award-winning record label Delphian Records.

We’ll be joined by mezzo-soprano Ciara Hendrick for The Taste of the Nation - a world premiere recording of music by JC Pepusch, William Corbett and Obadiah Shuttleworth. Having first been introduced to Shuttleworth's music by the research of Dr Andrew Pink, we've tracked down a dazzling collection of early English cantatas and concertos tucked away in the vaults of the British Library.

Alongside the recording, we’ll be performing these remarkable works at Wiltshire Music Centre and Chichester Chamber Concerts.

We’re very lucky to be 75% funded already, including the generous support of Angel Early Music and the Gemma Classical Music Trust, but we need your help to get us over the finish line and bring this music back to life!
