SAMBUCA

From deeply authentic baroque to wilfully unauthentic Mascagni, Sambuca present four hundred years of music plundered from all over Europe and beyond.  Peter Martin performs on guitar, baroque guitar and theorbo with Michael Copley on recorder, ocarina, flute and other woodwind instruments.  Whether classic Handel sonatas, virtuosic Vivaldi concertos, sultry tangos by Piazzolla, or lively world music from Bolivia and Macedonia, Sambuca's eclectic range of music has an immediate appeal to audiences from school children to the most serious early music specialists.

Sambuca's recent concerts have included London's Barbican Centre, Salisbury International Festival, the British Music Society of York, Cambridge Summer Recitals, Göttingen Handel Festival and Kloster Michaelstein in Germany, and Mulhouse Baroque Festival in France, as well as many other appearances around the UK.   They were selected for the Making Music Concert Promoters' Network for the season 2004/5.  Sambuca's first CD  has been heard on BBC Radio 3's Late Junction, and the duo themselves appeared live on Radio 3's In Tune.   In the 2006/07 season they will be appearing in cities all around the UK including Sheffield, Leicester, Southampton, Reading, Newport, Cardiff and Bournemouth.

You can hear Sambuca's CD on their own website, and you can buy a copy from our Merchandise page.  See Sambuca filmed live in concert on our audio/video page.
