Oz Clarke and the Armonico Consort toast music with 'Gin & Phonic'
A top wine critic and broadcaster is set to team up with a choir and instrumental ensemble to explore the relationship between music and gin.
Held in association with Harrogate's Slingsby Gin, the event will see Oz Clarke and the Armonico Consort investigate the highs and lows of the connection between gin, music, and humans over the centuries.
Gin and Phonic will take place in The Spiegeltent, in Crescent Gardens, Harrogate, on the evening of Monday, July 4, as part of the Harrogate Music Festival.
Slingsby Gin will be providing two free gin tastings for each audience member, which can be sipped whilst listening to the music of Purcell, Handel and Dowland.
Whilst William Slingsby discovered the unique properties of the natural spring water from Harrogate’s Tewit Well in 1571, more than 40 years later Slingsby Gin captured the 'Spirit of Harrogate', synonymous with its beautiful and restorative nature, in a variety of different gins.
Tickets cost £28 and are available here or by calling the Harrogate International Festivals box office on 01423 562303.
