A rare and radiant duo recital in Sheffield’s historic Upper Chapel
An elegant afternoon of chamber music awaits as Catrin Finch and Juliette Bausor come together for Fantasies for Flute & Harp, a special concert presented as part of Music in the Round Sheffield.
Widely described as the “queen of harps”, Catrin Finch is a chart-topping, multi-award-winning artist, while Juliette Bausor is the principal flautist of Ensemble 360. Long-time friends and collaborators, the pair reunite for a programme that showcases the lyrical beauty, colour, and expressive range of this classic instrumental pairing.
The programme
Spanning Baroque elegance, French lyricism, and South American fire, the programme includes:
Johann Sebastian Bach – Flute Sonata in G minor, BWV 1020
Gabriel Fauré – Fantasie, Op.79
William Alwyn – Naiades Fantasy Sonata
Nino Rota – Sonata for Flute and Harp
Astor Piazzolla – Bordel 1900 from Histoire de Tango
François Borne – Carmen Fantasie
Together, these works offer a rich and immersive journey through centuries of music, from intimate lyricism to dazzling virtuosity.
A welcome return to Sheffield
The concert marks Catrin Finch’s long-awaited return to Music in the Round, following her memorable sold-out appearance with Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita in 2018.
Following the performance, audiences are invited to stay for a free post-concert Q&A with both performers — no booking required.
