Duo Dorado

As part of Southend City Council’s Concert Series.

Duo Dorado is formed of two prize-winning international performing artists, Hazel Brooks (baroque violin) and David Pollock (harpsichord), with a shared passion for performing baroque repertoire and bringing it to a wider audience. They first met shortly after completing their studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music and have worked together ever since. In addition to their ordinary concerts, Hazel and David are keen to promote baroque music beyond the formal setting of traditional concert halls. They enjoy performing in less usual settings including museums, castles, schools, village halls, libraries and even a Roman villa!
