Do you know a hurdy-gurdy from a psaltery? What distinguishes a shawm from a shepherd’s pipe? Whether you’re as musical as a doorknob or singing with the angels, this talk offers much to inform and delight.

Before their evening concert, de Mowbray’s Musicke will showcase the wide array of medieval instruments that they will use in their performance inspired by the Luttrell Psalter. They will play these instruments as well as talking about their construction and use in the period. There will also be an opportunity to see the instruments at close quarters and ask questions about them.
