Philippa Mo violin Harriet Mackenzie violin
The unique violin duo Retorica will perform an exciting programme celebrating their debut CD launch with major British duos from Moeran and Rawsthorne to contemporary works written for Retorica. Given two identical instruments, the composers are challenged to vary colour and texture. They succeed with rhythmic energy, harmonic sophistication, beauty and wit, whilst also responding to the English Pastoral tradition.
