sinfonia ViVA with Leader Benedict Holland directing from the violin comes for the first time to The Palace in Ibstock with a terrific programme of popular string classics to enjoy.

Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.3 for strings alone, featuring fascinating and compelling interaction between the different instruments...

Pachelbel's Canon and Gigue, part of his beautiful G major Partita for Strings, has become one of the composer's most loved pieces...

Handel's Concerto Grosso No.7 is one of a dozen he composed which collectively have been described as 'the highest manifestation of Handel's compositional skills'...
