Robert Aldwinckle (1945-2017)
ROBERT ALDWINCKLE REMEMBERED 
A large ensemble of Robert's friends, past vocal students and instrumental colleagues come together with performances of instrumental, vocal and choral works. 
​There will also be an opportunity to view some of Robert's own artwork. ​
Robert Aldwinckle (1945-2017) was instrumental in creating Baroque Encounter's magnificent larger-scale performances in London and Wales. 
Members of the Baroque Encounter teams from those performances (including Carmen Lasok, Lucy Thomas, Anita Strevens, and Glenn Kesby) are pleased to take part in this concert to celebrate Robert's friendship and invaluable contribution to (especially baroque) music.
