From the hammers of Pythagoras, to the strings of the harp, to the melodies of birdsong, all of the songs in this concert have words expressing music’s celestial beauty from the medieval point of view. Hanna and Stef are joined by special guest Barnaby Brown (“hauntingly beautiful” Gramophone; “world class” – The Guardian), playing the early English triplepipe. Join them in one of Cambridge’s most ancient and atmospheric venues, the Round Church, to be blissfully transported by two-voiced harmonies, deep drones, Latin sequences, Hebridean melodies, Old English riddles, and musical storytelling, from the 10th to the 12th centuries.
