Thomas Bowes plays Paganini

Grampound was transported back in time to the life of Paganini with stories and live music from a talented violinist.

"Thomas Bowes, one of the UK’s premiere violinists, will reawaken the astonishment of those 19th century audiences with an evocation of this legend. He will play the first twelve of the hair-raising Caprices whilst Sam Freegard, actor and retired medic will read from contemporary accounts and impressions, telling the story of Paganini’s extraordinary life and adding his own expertise on Paganini’s various and many medical tribulations."
