Enjoy classical recorder music with a French theme in the Priory Church, performed by the Nene Consort. There’s no extra charge or formal ticketing: feel free to pop in and out as you wish or take a pew and enjoy the whole hour.
The Nene Consort will be playing an hour of music at 2pm and again at 3.30pm. Timings are approximate for this informal performance.
These musicians have been performing since 1958. They play the full range of recorders from contrabass to soprano, and their repertoire is mostly renaissance and baroque music, with some compositions by modern composers and arrangers who specialise in recorder music.
Families are very welcome. The church is accessed across a public road and has a threshold step with a ramp. It is not suitable for dogs although assistance dogs are welcome.
Normal admission prices apply.
