Welcome
Duo
Dorado has been charming audiences since 1999. Hazel and David are two
prize-winning early-music specialists who are passionate about the
music of the baroque era. Slick, dynamic and accessible, Duo Dorado
concerts frequently elicit standing ovations. Duo Dorado were selected artists for the Making Music Concert Promoters' Group scheme 2015-16.
Great music, lively presentation
Our programmes mix great composers such as Vivaldi, Bach and Handel
with other rare treats. Wild, sweet, passionate, flirtatious, our music
ranges from the exciting new styles of the early seventeenth century to
high-baroque and pre-classical masterpieces. We always talk to the
audience and often introduce the music with readings and anecdotes.
Visually stunning
In addition to our high-quality musicianship, varied and colourful
sound-textures, and infectious enthusiasm, our performances are
visually stunning. Our fabulous harpsichord, decorated with
eighteenth-century painting and gold leaf, forms a musical and visual
centrepiece that will take your breath away. A feast for the eyes as
well as the ears!
Practical
We bring our own harpsichord (at no extra cost), so we can play in any
venue and don't need a piano to be provided. We have a choice of
harpsichords which allows us to be flexible to fit with different
venues and budgets.
Venues
Venues range from International Music Festivals to small village
churches, and our programmes have also proved popular in music
societies and universities throughout Britain. We often perform in
historic buildings but are just as much at home in modern concert
halls. Click here for a list of past venues
