Tavistock Heritage Trust and Tavistock Guildhall are pleased to present another in our series of online talks.
Music in Art: Sophie Matthews
Thursday 8 April 2021. 7pm.
Sophie will be taking us on a journey across the centuries looking at some of the extraordinary musical instruments that appear in great works of art. She will tell us their story and let us hear their voices when she presents live demonstrations of the instruments depicted.
Sophie is a musician well-known for her prowess on the English border bagpipes and has become one of the foremost players of the instrument in the UK. She also plays a variety of early woodwind instruments such as shawm, rauschpfeife, crumhorm and recorder. She’s also one of a handful of British players of the baroque musette, an 18th century French bagpipe similar to the Northumbrian smallpipes.
This event is to raise funds for Tavistock Heritage Trust
Tavistock Heritage Trust is a registered charity.
