Blondel – Workshop with Lizzie Gutteridge
Advance Price: £27 Participant + evening concert : £35
Ticket prices: £27 for just taking part in the workshop, £35 for a combined ticket for the workshop and attending the evening concert.
A chance for players of historical instruments (at A=440) to try some repertoire related Blondel’s “Cover Story” concert programme in an afternoon workshop lead by Lizzie Gutteridge. Where our concert is currently restricted to versions of these wonderful melodies for three voices, the workshop will give us a chance to play arrangements of some of the same famous classics in up to 5 parts. Lizzie is a popular workshop leader with experience running sessions for Early Music Fora around the country and at Medieval Music in the Dales.
The evening concert will feature Blondel.
Blondel is a Medieval and Renaissance wind band made up of Belinda Paul, Emily Baines and Lizzie Gutteridge. Like the virtuosic wind players of the Middle Ages, we enjoy pushing the limits of our technique, performing music that many might not expect to hear on loud wind instruments, without losing the subtleties of phrasing, mood and balance of the original. Blondel play shawms, recorders, bagpipes and other early wind instruments. It is easy to imagine how the bold tones of a shawm band cut across the hustle and bustle of dance and banquet halls, or even a city square. More surprising to modern ears is the joyful and sophisticated beauty that results from this uniquely blended sound.
