Pied Piper: A Celebration of David Munrow

Study Day

Pied Piper: A Celebration of David Munrow
David Munrow was one of the most charismatic and accomplished performers of early music. His Early Music Consort was a key influence in bringing the early repertory to a new, wide audience, performing it with professionalism and virtuosity. Both through his playing and through his vivid broadcasting on radio and television, he made a lasting impression on the musical world.

He died, too young, fifty years ago; this day, mounted at Pembroke College where he was an undergraduate, aims to celebrate his life and to explore his influence, with a mixture of lively discussion and music from the Medieval to the Baroque, in the company of those who worked with him and were influenced by him.

Includes an evening performance by The English Cornett & Sackbutt Ensemble and Cambridge Early Music Consort, and the Geldart Ensemble (leader: Rachel Stroud).

Full programme information is available via the Book Tickets button.
