From Wigmore Hall: leading Baroque violinist Chouchane Siranossian plays music by Bach and some of his contemporaries.
Chouchane Siranossian is joined by the harpsichordist Leonardo Garcia Alarc贸n for a typically intriguing programme which ranges across the baroque. With some of Bach's more famous violin works at its core, we also hear from some of the German and Italian composers who influenced him and from Gregory of Narek, a 10th century Armenian mystic and poet.

A twice-over recent winner of the International Classical Music Awards for her Tartini concertos disc (2021), and the Mendelssohn E minor concerto (2019), the violinist is a Baroque specialist who also explores a wider repertoire. Her mastery of the instrument, nourished by her musical research and her work with some of today's leading Baroque and modern instrument orchestras, conductors and composers has made her a highly sought-after musician of marked individuality. When Chouchane is not on stage or researching, she devotes herself to her passion for mountaineering and ski touring.
