Ancient Airs & Ancient Spaces – A Harp Recital
Fri 14 Aug
7pm
Tickets £12, under 18s come free
Alfriston Clergy House, The Tye, Alfriston, Polegate BN26 5TL
We’re starting to make something of a Music Box tradition by presenting the unique repertoire and heritage of the harp in original venues which are themselves rich in heritage. After concerts at Pevensey Castle and the windmill at Windmill Hill, harpist Fiona Hosford, who has been a huge hit with our audience, returns with her recital ‘Ancient Airs and Ancient Spaces’ at the Clergy House in Alfriston. Dating from the early 15th century, this is a gloriously picturesque and historically significant building, the first built property acquired by the newly formed National Trust in 1896. Its restoration, in collaboration with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, founded by William Morris, informed the conservation principles which have been applied to countless subsequent restorations. Fiona’s recital includes music by Vaughan Williams, works by the early English composers Byrd, Eccles and Croft and popular pieces from 19th century Spain. Tickets should be bought in advance...
