Sat 4 Oct. 7.30pm: Evening of medieval music: Booking open for tickets
A rare chance to come to an Evening of medieval music taking place in the historic church of St. Michael and All Angels, Geldeston.
The evening gives us a chance to experience music that was being performed in the early days of the church from the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval periods (dating from approx. the 900-1150 and 1400-1600). It will be played on replicas of contemporary instruments including the harp psaltery, a rebec (an early form of violin), an Anglo-Saxon lyre (copy of one found at Sutton Hoo), in addition to bells, percussion and reed instruments. Anglo Saxon music was mostly transferred orally with only a few fragments written down and these provide a basis for the music performed, with other sources from medieval France and England including the Court of Elenor of Aquitaine. Adding further to the authenticity, the players wear period costumes with a change in the second part of the programme.
Apply for tickets from [email protected] or 01502 713384 for this most interesting and enjoyable evening. Wine served in interval
The event is part of the 2025 Patronal Festival, and in aid of the Church restoration fund.
