NACO principal flutist Joanna G’froerer and acclaimed harpist Michelle Gott present an afternoon of captivating music shaped by folk and traditional influences. Their programme features evocative duos for flute and harp, from Shaposhnikov’s balalaika-like harp textures to Baker’s Intermezzo, rich with pentatonic colour and gamelan-inspired rhythms.

G’froerer and Gott weave a vibrant tapestry of cultural timbres in this unique musical journey.
