The food at Borgo can only be described as a gastronomic delight. Breakfast is taken at leisure. Lunch is served on the picturesque terrace overlooking the majestic forest. Dinner, preceded by aperitifs in The Chapel, is a five course feast lovingly created by Chef Luca using the finest ingredients, many of which are grown on The Borgo Estate. The Borgo also has an extensive wine cellar from which local wines have been selected to complement each meal.

During your stay, the principal strings from The Hanover Band will perform quartets by Haydn, Schubert and Dvorak. They will be joined by Geoff Coates for the Mozart Oboe Quartet and Colin Lawson for the Brahms Clarinet Quintet.

The midday lecture recitals will be given by Julia Kuhn (violin) and Bradley Smith (tenor). Chad Vindin (piano) and Richard Bayliss (horn) will also be joining Bradley for an evening of piano music and Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and piano.

Additional Info

The Hanover Band

HANOVER (Not Hannover; Germany) In terms of British history the majority of the music we play is from the Hanoverian period. Hanover also refers to Hanover Square in London, where Haydn performed his symphonies and arias in the Salomon Concerts in the 1790’s.

BAND (ref: The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians)
‘An instrumental ensemble, larger than a chamber ensemble. Thus the ’24 violins’ of Louis XIV were called ‘la grande bande’ to distinguish them from Lully’s ‘petits violons’, and Charles II’s similar ensemble was known as ‘the King’s Band’. By extension, ‘band’ came to mean an orchestra in colloquial British usage’.

THE HANOVER BAND a period name for a period orchestra.
