The Musical & Amicable Society provided our joint audience – as this concert was a collaboration with Worcester Concert Club – with a superb afternoon of music, performing Brandenburg Concerti 3-6. Thank you to all the players who performed for us, as well as to the large and appreciative audience who came along.

As we bring this current season to a close, we very much look ahead to the 2026/7 season, which starts on 25 October 2026 with Piers Adams (recorders) and David Wright (keyboard) performing as “Red Priest”. BBC Music Magazine said of them: “For sheer technical wizardry, charismatic showmanship and expressive devilment, Red Priest is in an exhilarating class of its own.” Tickets will be on sale for this concert very soon – check our Events page for more details in due course.

Cambridge Renaissance Voices and The Musical and Amicable Society will be performing Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610, alongside works by Giovanni Gabrieli, at Great Malvern Priory on Saturday 30th May 2026.

Performed on period instruments, this concert brings to life the rich sound world of Venice’s golden age, blending Renaissance polyphony with the dramatic flair of early Baroque music. Highlights include Monteverdi’s vibrant psalm settings and motets, Gabrieli’s polychoral masterpiece Omnes Gentes, and the evocative Ave Maris Stella.
