Anna Dębowska (piano) and Norway's Edvard Adde (tenor) at Bamff House, Scotland - the residence of Paul and Luise Ramsay of Bamff, on 16 October 2022, restaged F. Chopin's Matinee Musicale originally given by F. Chopin at 99 Eaton Pace, London, on 23 June 1848 at the residence of Mrs. Adelaide Sartoris, whom he knew in Paris. She herself was a soprano and had married Edward John Sartoris - a wealthy man of fashion, with aspirations to become a Member of Parliament. This concert was one of the few Chopin gave in London and the first public one in Britain. It began at 3 pm and tickets, limited in number, were one guinea each.
Performed on the iconic barless Broadwood grand piano, the restaged concert intended to reconstruct the original programme of the 1848 concert as well as the authentic atmosphere of this concert, including the audience and venue profile.
