The Campbells are coming
 Hugh (guitar) and Vicky (flute)Campbell have been performing together since they met at the Trinity College of Music in London where Vicky was a Junior Exhibitioner and Hugh won the prestigious Chamber Music Prize. They have played at the Purcell Room in London and have toured extensively throughout the UK, mainland Europe and Scandinavia.
Their repertoire ranges across the baroque and classical periods, through to impressionism and the very best of recent works for guitar and flute.
Their programme reflects the history of 'Music through the Centuries'. It is likely to include such pieces as Dowland's 17th century Lachrymae Galliard, a Handel Sonata, Haydn's Trio No.1 and the tango music of Pujol of Argentina.
The acoustics at the Kirkleatham almshouses are perfect for this combination of instruments. This promises to be a night to remember.
