A spokesman said: "Alongside works by Vivaldi, Bach and Telemann there will be a performance of Haydn’s great D major Piano Concerto.The soloists will be Helen Roberts, on the viola and Janine Parsons, on the piano.

"Christ Church has a wonderfully warm, welcoming atmosphere and a splendid acoustic."
