Blackdowns Early Music Projects – The King’s Flutes

Professional series: We are delighted to welcome the international ensemble Phaedrus, as part of their UK tour following an appearance at the Cambridge Early Music Festival.
Emma-Lisa Roux  (voice & & lute) with Mara Winter, Charlotte Schneider and  Luis Martinez Pueyo (renaissance flute consort) are bringing a programme entitled The King’s Flutes, referring to the 72 Renaissance flutes found in Henry VIII’s collection. The ensemble first came together while studying at the renowned Swiss music centre, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
In England, one of the greatest patrons of the arts was Henry VIII who developed the cultural and musical splendour of the Tudor court, and it is music of this time that the members of Phaedrus are bringing to Culmstock in October.
