Music without borders - Textless Instrumental Music from the Middle Ages

A programme exploring textless instrumental music from Italy and France from three of the most famous medieval manuscripts, spanning from the Manuscrit du Roi (14th century) over the London Codex (late 14th/early 15th century) to Codex Faenza (15th century). Follia4

Follia 4

Gabriel Alves, Otto Hashmi, Lizzie Knatt and Hannah Parry

A collaboration between four of the most exciting emerging voices in the London recorder scene. With individual specialisms ranging from art pop and contemporary dance music to historically informed performance practice and collaborative composition, the quartet draw on a wealth of experience as performers, researchers, composers and collaborators to create performances which celebrate the diversity of recorder repertoire and the sonic possibilities of the recorder consort.

Lizzie Knatt – recorders, Declan Hickey – guitar

The recorder and guitar, or their close relatives, are found in almost every culture from antiquity to the present day. This programme, Voyages, evokes journeys through both the ancient and modern world, through time, space, and within ourselves.

RCM Recorder Consort

Larli Davies, Luca J. Imperiale, Joseph Page, Anna Walker

“Come, some music! Come, the recorders…” Music that Shakespeare might have heard

In a scene from Hamlet (Act III, Scene II), the Prince of Denmark hands out a recorder to Guilderstern and asks him to play. When he can’t, Hamlet remarks that the instrument, if well played, “will discourse most eloquent music” and that “there is much music, excellent voice, in this little organ”.

Rising Stars

Hassan Marzban and Joseph Sainsbury

In pop up performances throughout Saturday, these two exciting young recorder players from the Royal Academy of Music Juniors explore Medieval and Contemporary works adding their own improvisations and creative interpretations along the way.
