Introducing Monsieur Buffardin

Thursday 6 October, 6.30pm

PG Buffardin was a French flautist who had music written for him by J S Bach and was a member of the Dresden Court Orchestra. He also taught up and coming stars such as Johann Joachim Quantz.

The very talented Mirjam Munzel will be performing a series of pieces written for and played by Buffardin, whilst exploring what it may have been like for a musical star in 18th century Europe.

Promising to be full of virtuosic flair, this performance is a must-see.
