SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects - The Musical & Amicable Society - Purcell & friends
DESCRIPTION:‘Purcell and Friends’ brings together some gems of the late 17th century to present popular songs and tunes from Purcell’s theatre works alongside music by his continental contemporaries performed by Martin Perkins (organ)\, Henrik Persson ( gamba/cello) Lisete da Silva (baroque flute/recorders) and Nicola Wemyss (mezzo).\nThe original Musical and Amicable Society was founded in 1762 by James Kempson\, who directed the choir at St Bartholomew’s Chapel\, Birmingham. Together with fellow musicians from St Philip’s Church (now Birmingham Cathedral)\, Kempson and his singers gathered on a regular basis at Cooke’s tavern in the Cherry Orchard “for practice and recreation”!\nIn 2003\, Kate Fawcett and Martin Perkins decided to revive this historic society as a collective of professional period-instrument specialists\, performing in combinations ranging from small ensembles to full orchestra.\nIndividually\, the members maintain successful freelance careers with some of Europe’s most prestigious period-instrument ensembles. Collectively\, they explore Baroque and Classical repertoire\, both familiar and forgotten\, recreating the soundscape of an earlier era for a twenty-first century audience.

SUMMARY:St Johns Taunton - Lunchtime Concert: Russian Romance
DESCRIPTION:Trio Exe invite you on a musical journey back to Russia in the 1890s. A period when Russian music was full of romantic melodies and gorgeous harmonies\, with native composers respected and revered across Europe and a thriving cultural scene.\nThe main work in our programme is the Piano Trio No. 1 by Anton Arensky. Possibly not a name you have come across\, and we are delighted to bring you this sumptuous music if it is your first introduction to the composer. Arensky specialised in composing chamber music and was devoted to the music of Tchaikovsky\, even using some of Tchaikovsky’s melodies in his own works. This Trio is a whirlwind of contrasting moods\, from the dramatic to the cheerful\, both memorable and uplifting and guaranteed to brighten your day!\nThey will also play some arrangements of pieces from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.

SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects – Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll – English Fiddles & Folk
DESCRIPTION:Two of the West Country’s finest fiddle-players join forces to form this fabulous duo with an innovative take on English traditional music and song.\nNick Wyke & Becki Driscoll are highly-respected musicians\, composers and workshop leaders based in North Devon. They first collaborated as a\nfiddle duo on a busking trip around Spain and Portugal\, and in the years since have worked with some of the leading lights of the English folk scene\,\nalways pushing the boundaries and developing new and inventive music. They will take us back to times when stories were told in music\, when tunes were used over and again in different times and places for dance and entertainment. \nC17th books of manuscript\, such as Playford’s Dancing Master have informed players through the years\, from the local band to musicians at court to today’s masters of tradition. Nick and Becki will tell tales in music and song\, adding their own contemporary twists that will surely contribute to the continued web of music that holds us all together. There is no music without the folk to make it!

SUMMARY:Blackdowns Early Music Projects - Newe Vialles - Good Againe
DESCRIPTION:At last! Real Live Music…\nThe BEMP Third Thursday recital series opens on May 20th in All Saints’ Church\, Culmstock\nFirst up will be Newe Vialles\, who are delighted to be returning to Culmstock for a recital of characterful and quirky music from 17th century England. The programme features sumptuous lyra viol music by the soldier turned composer Tobias Hume\, swift divisions by the master of English viol-playing Christopher Simpson\, and delicate dance duos by John Jenkins\, whose career spanned almost the whole of the century\, from the time of Charles I until well into the Restoration. We are delighted that this time\, Catherine Bass will join us for a set of lute and continuo songs\, and we will end the recital with a sonata by Benjamin Hely\, a little-known English composer and violist from the end of the century\, whose music shows definite hints of the high baroque. This will be our first public performance since the beginning of the pandemic and we hope that\, as Hume titles one of his pieces\, things will soon indeed be “good againe”.
