Amyas: The Ghost in the Machine

Our next concert will be bringing the music from mechanical instruments (barrel-organs and organ-clocks) made in the Eighteenth Century to life.

On Sunday April 6th we welcome Emily Baines (recorder/director), Poppy Walshaw (cello) Arngeir Hauksson (theorbo/Baroque guitar) and Steven Devine (harpsichord) who will play works by Purcell, Handel and Geminiani, but maybe not as we’re used to hearing them. Emily’s research into performances found in mechanical instruments give us a unique glimpse into the performance style of this music two hundred years ago.
