International Concert Series 2024-25
Described as ‘Early Music’s very own Spice Girls’, the vibrant recorder quartet Palisander will present its ‘Double, Double, Toil & Trouble’ on this All Hallows' Eve.
Throughout the ages, music and magic have been intrinsically linked. Featuring music by Tartini, JS Bach and Hildegard von Bingen, alongside renaissance consort music and contemporary works, the acclaimed recorder group Palisander explores the historic relationship between music and the magical spectrum: including elements of mathematics, philosophy, nature, religion and the occult.
This event is presented as part of the International Concert Series 2024-25 at Royal Holloway.

About the performers
Palisander prides itself on presenting imaginative, historical programmes with a wide range of repertoire; performing largely from memory, on recorders up to 6 feet tall. The quartet has quickly established itself as a vibrant young ensemble. Devising their own choreography, as well as writing new compositions and unique arrangements for the ensemble, the group’s members are keen ambassadors for the recorder’s versatility. This is brought to life in the exciting theatrical concerts, for which Palisander is known. “Palisander – making recorders phenomenally interesting and exciting” – Katie Derham, BBC Radio 3, 2019.
