Painting of Abel, the 18th-century musician

Abel and the solo viol [Hampton]

Saturday 07 September 2024
19:00 to 21:00

Ibrahim Aziz explores the music and influence of the eighteenth-century composer, player and concert promoter Carl Friedric Abel [1723 - 1787]. He had many influential friends, including the painter Thomas Gainsborough [1727 - 1788] and David Garrick  [1717 - 1779]., and this concert will centre around his compositions for the bass viol - of which he was one of the last well-known exponents in a solo role.

This concert is part of a regular series of early music performances held in the Georgian jewel of Garrick's Temple to Shakespeare [https://www.garrickstemple.org.uk], which sits by the Thames in Hampton.

Admission is always cheaper when booked in advance, and there are concessions for under-21s, students, the unemployed and volunteers at the venue. On the door, tickets cost £16 - with half price concessions for the same people.

Anyone able and willing to listen is welcome to come along, and there is no need to print this ticket as a record is kept at the front desk.
