Caroline & Charles Sample Programmes

Recorder and Piano Programmes
The fast and adventurous works of the 20th and 21st century are certainly the highlights of our programmes with the piano. We often juxtapose these with repertoire from the High Baroque period to create entertaining and stimulating experiences for our audiences and ourselves.

Recorder and Harpsichord or Spinet Programmes
Our spinet programmes place greater emphasis on the earlier repertoire, whilst including some new works for this combination. The sounds of recorders and a spinet are very well suited to being performed in small venues, sometimes by candlelight, creating an atmospheric and engaging experience. Viol player Alison Crum may join us for this programme.

Recorder and Organ Programmes
Many renaissance and baroque works sound glorious with organ accompaniment. We juxtapose these with new works written for Caroline and Charles which show off the versatility of both instruments.
