Theatre Royal, Hobart: The Long Blue Horizon
19 June @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm AEST

Historical flautist Meredith Beardmore takes her flutes through unexpected terrains. Her recent release The Long Blue Horizon was created on the Tasman Peninsula. Inspired by the extraordinary landscape of the peninsula, the album combines historical flutes and field recordings.
In this intimate concert, Meredith performs music inspired by the tessellated pavement and remarkable cave and nestles these amongst her flute’s original setting: luscious French baroque chamber music, where she’ll be joined by the incomparable Simon Martyn-Ellis on theorbo. They’ll perform suites by Hotteterre and Monteclair with movements named after places, people, and nature, showing that music has been inspired by the environment regardless of the century or continent.
