Premiere String Duo at Chiddingstone Castle, Kent

Premiere String Duo recently performed at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent for a life celebration, providing live string music tailored to the nature and setting of the event.

The performance took place within the castle’s historic interior, where acoustics and space are well suited to chamber music. The programme was selected in consultation with the family and featured works by J.S. Bach, chosen for their structure, familiarity, and suitability for reflective occasions. The repertoire included Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, Wachet Auf, Air on the G String, and Arioso. These works provided continuity throughout the event and supported the overall atmosphere without overpowering proceedings.
