Description:
Going further afield, we have added some real treasures from Eastern Europe and Central America. You can hear fine early music from unfamiliar composers, women as well as men, and from our more usual repertoire. It is performed on our huge collection of period instruments: sackbuts, cornetts, serpent, shawms, curtals, bagpipes, recorders, gemshorns, viols, violins, rebecs, hurdy-gurdy, associated percussion and more, joined by singers. The band is entering its second half-century with just as much enthusiasm as ever: the show is fun, friendly, fascinating and free for children, who are very welcome.
