ABOUT THE ARTISTSNow in its seventh year, Continuo Collective delights in presenting rarely heard music on rare and beautiful instruments. The group’s main passion is exploring the role of plucked instruments in the improvisatory art of basso continuo and as accompaniment to other instruments. Under the banner of Continuo Collective, Samantha Cohen and Geoffrey Morris have collaborated with several guest artists including Sally-Anne Russell, Brenton Spiteri, Tommie Andersson, Rachael Beesley and Laura Vaughan, performing music from the early 17th century into the 19th and 20th centuries. Audiences enjoy the Collective's intimate concerts, and the exotic plucked instruments including theorbo, Baroque guitar, Romantic guitar, lute, chitarra battente, chitarra atiorbata and angelique. These unique instruments are especially suited to Primrose Potter Salon, which creates a natural resonance for plucked strings, while retaining clarity and warmth.
