Laura Lootens
Diabolico
Upper Chapel
Saturday 12th June 2026 7.30pm
Named one of Classic FM's Rising Stars of 2024, Laura Lootens’ critically acclaimed recital programme Diabolico is sweeping across the UK this June. Gramophone calls it "fearless intensity" — pure theatre, pure drama, exceptional command. The programme journeys from Paganini's grand bravado through Rodrigo's Spanish lyricism and Rochberg's modern complexity, culminating in the darkly thrilling Capriccio Diabolico. Witness a truly exceptional artist at the height of her powers.

Mediterranean Strings - performed by the Ciampa-Piccotti Duo
Experience a unique musical journey with Mediterranean Strings — a concert that brings together two of Italy’s most gifted classical musicians, the Ciampa‑Piccotti Duo. Cellist Erica Piccotti and classical guitarist Gian Marco Ciampa deliver an evening full of expressive warmth, refined virtuosity, and a deep musical connection. Their repertoire blends the rich colours of Spanish folk tradition — from Albéniz and Granados to De Falla — with the lyrical elegance of Italian opera, featuring works by Paganini, Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. The result is a soundscape where cello and guitar speak as one voice, weaving melody and emotion in every note. Whether you’re a longtime classical lover or new to this combination — this concert promises to enchant, move and stay with you long after the final chord.
