Become a Patron

If you’d like to become a Patron in our 30^th Anniversary year, it’s easy to do this via the website. You don’t need to be a millionaire to help LS flourish – we have a wonderful network of subscribers who give modest amounts each month. Here’s what one lovely supporter has told us recently:

“Music seems to be more and more important in my life so it makes sense to support the musicians who make it.”

Even the cost of a coffee can help us on our mission to enrich lives through our passion for Italian baroque music.

Vivaldi 8 – coming soon!

Final edits to the Vivaldi 8 booklet are in process. This album will be out in February 2025.

If you want to support the follow-up album Vivaldi 8+ which we’re recording this month, it’s not too early to sponsor a track. Just email camilla@laserenissima.co.uk

Also, Adrian has been finalising the singers for June’s Ariosti oratorio – this will be the grand finale to our Residency at Wigmore Hall, The A-Z of Italian Baroque on 25th June.

Vivaldi x2² has spent a whole 6 weeks in the UK Specialist Classical Chart. We are thrilled by this coverage of some of Vivaldi’s most fun works. Listen to Proteus or The World Turned Upside Down here:

The World Turned Upside Down…

We are in the throes of packing up our rural office in the North Cotswolds, and preparing to relocate to the centre of Gloucester. It feels a lot like our world is being turned upside down at the moment.

Adrian and I are enjoying regular visits to Gloucester Cathedral, where our daughter Jemima is a new probationer in the choir. We look forward to planning new projects from this Levelling Up area and hope to welcome many of you to Gloucester in 2025.

The many messages of encouragement and support that we receive from this mailing list are a source of great joy in what can only be described as a very challenging time in our lives.

With our thanks and best wishes – keep listening!
Camilla & Adrian
