Border Marches Early Music Forum
This site was last updated 13th June 2018
A lively and enjoyable day of Venetian music at Burton Court with tutor Gawain Glenton.  Lots of instruments - we even had a lysard (aka lizard or tenor cornett).  As one participant commented, "It was great to experience the skillful way in which Gawain made use of the wide range of instruments and singers available. No-one had to feel surplus to requirements!"
