New Horizons

In a new partnership with Limelight Magazine, conductor Simon Murphy's blog column, "New Horizons", features personal stories on international musical travels, explorations and discoveries.

Entitled "The Italian Job", the first instalment gives insights into Murphy's ground-breaking work rediscovering Corelli's orchestral soundworld and looking at its influence on Handel and others.

In the second instalment, Murphy discusses his new show exploring the heady atmosphere of Mrs Cornelys' swinging 1760's London.
