Musical Treasures of the West Country
An intimate piano recital with Duncan Honeybourne
Discover a fascinating world of forgotten musical treasures as acclaimed pianist Duncan Honeybourne brings to life the music of remarkable composers from the South West of England.
From Bath and Plymouth to Dorset, Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall, this engaging recital explores a rich but often overlooked musical heritage. Alongside the music, Duncan shares the stories behind the composers. Their lives were as varied as their music. Some worked as farmers and wine merchants, while others became BBC conductors and broadcasters.
The programme features music by Edward Loder, Stanley Bate, Hubert Bath, Kellow Pye, Nigel Brooks, Henry Balfour Gardiner, Raymond Sutton and Reginald Redman. Highlights include Sutton’s suite Wiltshire Downs, which opens with Salisbury (The Deanery), together with music by Hubert Bath, best known for his much-loved Cornish Rhapsody.
Duncan combines live performance with fascinating musical history. As a result, audiences discover a neglected chapter of British music and hear works that deserve to be better known today.

Experience this music in the intimate surroundings of Arundells, performed on Sir Edward Heath’s beloved Steinway piano.
With only a small number of seats available, this special recital offers a rare opportunity to enjoy outstanding live music in one of Salisbury’s most historic and atmospheric settings.
