Add to my Calendar 01-12-2019 18:00 01-12-2019 20:00 36 Saraband Music from the sorrowful Pavans of Matthew Locke and sumptuous sonorities of Henry Purcell, to tunes by celebrated violinists of the day: Nicola Matteis, Davis Mell, John Eccles and superstar Italian - Corelli. An exciting time for the violin in Britain as it emerged from being an instrument used mainly for dancing into a hugely popular instrument to learn amongst gentlemen amateurs and soon established itself as the King of instruments! Saraband are joined by actor Robert Maskell - still smelling of greasepaint from his run in 'Fiddler on the Roof' - to take us into the world of the Theatre and Tavern with stories, songs and gossip from the greatest wits of the age, including the famous scurvy poet, Tom D'Urfey.
