Afternoon Music at the Goods Shed with Musicke in the Ayre

Early musical ensemble Musicke in the Ayre are a vocal quartet made up of Rosalind Keefe, Helen Hill, Phil Neville, Chris Hall (voices) and Din Ghani (lute)

Today Musicke in the Ayre present songs for one to four voices based on poetry written by prominent persons from the courts of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I.

Songs to the lute were in fashion at the beginning of the 17th century: this is music that is just as delightful and appealing now as it was then. Having texts by courtier poets, supplemented by snippets of historical context, helps to animate the events and personalities of this fascinating period.

Do come and join us – you can enjoy some super music, meet your friends as well as maybe making new ones.
