REPERTOIRE


 
Jill specialises in recitals involving numerous recorders and a wide variety of music. Her recitals span Baroque standards, 19th century csakan showpieces and twentieth century works, as well as specially commissioned pieces and her own transcriptions. She is particularly interested in the relationship between recorders and piano and her recitals explore the wonderfully sonorous world these instruments create together.  Jill is passionate about showing the recorder as a modern instrument in its own right and her recitals excite, stimulate and challenge the boundaries of people's expectations.
