Rachel Podger (violin) and Brecon Baroque (classical)

Rachel Podger has been called ‘the queen of the Baroque violin’, Gramophone magazine also describing her as ‘a glorious example of someone who lives her life through her violin’. We welcome her to Petworth in the company of a quartet of musicians from Brecon Baroque, the acclaimed period instrument ensemble she directs, and which consists of an international line-up of world-class virtuosi.
