Please park on the lawn at the top of the driveway, by the stone wall, and enter from the veranda. Leave the driveway for people with mobility issues. Do not park under the large tree as it drops limbs.
All WELCOME - singers / instrumentalists can participate in the group playing, but instruments must be of authentic style for the period. The pitch for the afternoon for general playing will be A440 (modern). All vocal parts will be doubled by an instrument.
MUSIC TO BE PLAYED/SUNG
General playing/singing - music will be supplied in a variety of clefs. The music is for voices and instruments, and all vocal lines are doubled by at least one instrument so you can sing beside 'your' instrument. There will usually be many players/singers per part.
