 | Elizabeth & Richard bring an astonishingly large collection of period style instruments, from period style harps to hautbois and bagpipes to organ, plus many more. Performances of high and low music and songs mix with participation from the audience, where appropriate, and dances, explanations, anecdotes, and period stories, all leavened with humour. Presentations may be indoors or outdoors in a tent, depending on your setting, from the Tower of London to a medieval village church and many more between. Richard also works solo events using similar themes, but without the duet arrangements or Elizabeth’s singing.. Education Richard presents medieval work in schools & museums, mainly to Key Stage 3 pupils. Again, the vast array of instruments, with a quite unusual amount of opportunities for hands-on work, are allied to dance, stories, discussion of many themes in medieval life and culture, and more. Long experience as a full time teacher with B.Ed (Hons., 1st) also helps in presentations to groups whether in schools, stately homes, or to adult education groups. |
