Add to your event list
Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
An hour of music fit for a king, both for pleasure and for prayers. No ordinary king, Louis XIV's court resounded with the music of some of France's best composers of the period: and Maria, Jane, Philippa and Din bring a choice selection of this: spirited sacred works from Charpentier, extracts from fabulous operas and courtly entertainments by Lully.
Sopranos: Jane Hunt, Maria Danishvar, Philippa Neaverson
Continuo: Din Ghani on archute and baroque guitar (both made by him).
£15 at the door or online in advance (no booking fee).
Musicke in the Ayre
Musicke in the Ayre was formed by lutenist/luthier Din Ghani with a group of friends to explore and perform the lute song repertoire and other 16th/17th century music with a flexible line-up of voices, lutes and allied instruments.
