Hexachordia Saturday 7 July at St Peter Hungate, The early music trio,
Hexachordia presents an informal concert which brings to life the musical
scene under Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Playing on a wide range of authentic
copies of original instruments from Tudor era such as the harp, recorders,
lute and viols, the group performs pieces that would have been played by
court musicians (as well as by the two great monarchs themselves, both of
whom were accomplished musicians), noble families, and performers in the
streets and taverns. In between the music, members of Hexachordia will
introduce and demonstrate the various instruments they play. Suitable for all ages.
