Telemann Unfurling Classical Concert

Georg Telemann was at one time considered as great a musician as J.S Bach and lived an extraordinary life, surviving tragedy and campaigning for musicians' rights whilst producing an enormous quantity of written works.

Described as offering "hypnotic, magical playing, as near as you will come to mesmerism in music" (Cambridge Critique), Nicola Woodward brings a captivating depth of connection to these Fantasies by Telemann.

Woodward studied joint first study flute and piano at the Royal College of Music and won exhibition scholarships on both instruments. She also won the Eve Kisch flute prize and several other prizes for all-round musicianship. She has given recitals at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room (as winner of the Park Lane Group Competition) and live on Classic FM. She has worked with the London Philharmonic and Bournemouth Orchestras and toured in South America and Turkey for the British Council. Concerto.net praised the "absolute connection" felt "inside the gates of her enchanted flute".

Her concert supports PalMusic UK, a UK-registered charity funding the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music (ESNCM), which nurtures young Palestinian musicians in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Gaza and refugee camps across Palestine.
