Fantasies for Flute & Harp – Catrin Finch & Juliette Bausor (Upper Chapel, Sheffield)

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.
