Fiori Musicali Castle Ashby Concert
2025-07-27 18:00 - 19:45 (Europe/London) | Castle Ashby, Castle Ashby Church, NN7 1LQ
Castle Ashby NN7 1LQ

Castle Ashby Church, Northampton (9 miles), NN7 1LQ

Sunday 27th July 2025

The Castle Ashby Concert
part of Fiori Musicali’s summer series 2025 â€“ Hortus Musicus â€“ the musical garden.
The romantic Italian gardens at Castle Ashby with their topiary and orangery are the inspiration for our popular midsummer concert in the idyllic church at Castle Ashby.
The nightingale makes a passing appearance in the music of Italian early baroque composer Merula. Flute and recorder represent other members of the feathered world and Uccellini’s Sinfonie Boscarecie is a nod to the arboretum and parkland of this heavenly venue. Brandenburg too had wonderful baroque gardens, so JS Bach must make an appearance. And an intriguing alternative portrayal of Summer from the Four Seasons captures the time of year – not by Vivaldi this time, but by his rarely heard Italian contemporary Giovanni Guido.
Telemann - Violin concerto in A Imitiert die Reelinge
Merula - La lusignuola (the nightingale)
Uccellini â€“ Sinfonie Boscarecie no.34 ‘Gran Battaglia’
Telemann - Concerto for recorder & flute in E minor
Guido â€“ Summer from the Four Seasons
JS Bach â€“ Brandenburg concerto no.4

Kerstin Linder Dewan solo violin, Eva Caballero flute/recorder, Heidi Fardell recorder with the Fiori Musicali Chamber Orchestra, Penelope Rapson harpsichord/director

Gladiators of Britain
2025-07-27 12:00 - 17:00 | Northampton Museum And Art Gallery, 4-6 Guildhall Rd,, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP, United Kingdom
Explore the history of gladiatorial fights in Britain.

Â

The events of the amphitheatre – its wild beasts and enslaved fighters – are one of the most enduring aspects of Roman culture that still capture the public imagination today.
This touring exhibition brings together some of the countryâ€™s most important objects to tell the story of Britainâ€™s entertainment venues and the people who died to the roar of the crowd. It will reveal the violence of the arena, and the importance of spectacle within Roman culture.
Highlights include the Colchester Vase loaned by Colchester Museums, which records an actual battle between two real gladiators, and the Hawkedon Helmet, the only confirmed piece of gladiatorial armour from Roman Britain. These iconic loans will be supported by a selection of other items that reveal the popularity of gladiators throughout Roman society.
This tour is in partnership with Colchester and Ipswich Museums and is inspired by the recent exhibition at Colchester Castle, Gladiators: A Day at the Roman Games which featured British Museum loans. It will explore Roman spectacle in the local region, following in the footsteps of the gladiators who fought in the amphitheatres of Britain.
