We’re delighted to be joining our friends at Cappella Nova to showcase music by Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn) and Clara Schumann alongside their brother and husband and to bring their stories into the foreground. Both extremely skilled composers and performers, their music deserves to be much better known. Do come along and discover their music.

8:30am May 1st Ebbor Gorge. The annual outing of the Nuts in May Singers (Swan Singers and friends) was another triumph of musical optimism over slightly dreary weather as we walked and madrigalled our way from Deerleap Car Park to the top of Ebbor Gorge. There were frequent stops to admire the scenery/the slightly sad state of the willow bear sculpture/carpets of bluebells and to test out a variety of acoustics through the medium of the Oxford Book of English Madrigals. Of course, the best part is when we reach the top and sing with the Vale of Avalon spread at our feet with delicious homemade cakes emerging from backpacks as just rewards for our efforts. Now is the Month of Maying indeed!
