The music of Christmas past will be performed at Leicestershire County Council’s Donington le Heath Manor House this week.
On Friday 5 December 2008 at 3.00 pm and 7.00 pm, the Manor House will hold its annual Christmas Early Music Concert by the group ‘Galliarda’.
Last year’s performances were a sell-out success, so this year there will be two performances, a matinee performance at 3.00pm and an evening concert at 7.00 pm. Tickets are likely to sell quickly so early booking is recommended.
The manor house will be decorated in authentic 17th Century style with greenery adorning the magnificent timbers of the Hall creating an authentic atmosphere of a bygone age.
Galliarda are:
Wendy Hancock - Recorder, Baroque Flute and Treble viol
Stewart McCoy - Lute and Theorbo
Ian Gammie - Viola da Gamba
Christine Jones - Soprano
Tickets price £12.00 adults, £10.00 all concessions + £8.00 children to include refreshments
Tickets available from Donington le Heath Manor House now on 01530 831259
For further information please contact Alison Fearn Museum Officer on 01530 831259
