In a new programme, the popular early music ensemble The City Musick enter the world of the early Tudor court, exploring the repertoires and ensembles that would have been performed for the various revels, masques, dances, ceremonies, public displays and privy chambers of the King.

Featuring songs and instrumental pieces from the famous Henry VIII Manuscript and other local and continental musical sources, The City Musick play many of the instruments that were listed in the inventory of Henry’s collection including shawms, cornetts, sackbuts, still-shawms, bagpipes, crumhorns, flutes and recorders.

The concert will take the form of a court entertainment, with processions, interludes, readings, consorts, dances and love songs, exploring the colourful revels and ceremonies of a King.
