Voice and square piano partnership Penelope Appleyard and Jonathan Delbridge perform entertaining recital programmes that bring the authentic sound of historic domestic music to life, out of the drawing room, and into concert venues nationwide. (They also perform IN drawing rooms when possible!) Their performances blend scholarship with entertainment, celebrating the legacy and fun of music-making with friends and family at home.
Party like it's 1801!
