Dear
Early Music friends,
Thank you to all those who came to our festival events in March; we
were pleased to see our audiences are gradually growing. The
welcome extended to us by those in Old St Martins in the
Cornmarket, and by St Martin's London Road, was very encouraging,
and audience members seemed to enjoy the acoustic and ambience of
both venues for our concerts. Financially these venues are more
sustainable for our festival, so it is likely that our Pride and
Prejudice Ball will be the only event scheduled for the Guildhall
for the foreseeable future.
Our team of workshop providers is currently working hard in
residential care homes throughout Worcestershire, and in day
care centres for young people with complex needs. We have received
significant funding for these projects and enjoy singing and
playing Early Music in the shape of folk songs, dance tunes, and
sea shanties with our audiences.
Looking ahead, our first task will be to begin applications
for the next round of funding, and then on to planning our
next festival. If you have any ideas for funding sources, or for
the festival generally next year we would love to hear from you.
Best wishes,
Barbara,
Ian and Micaela
