Michael Nyman and Henry Purcell with Fretwork

  • Guiting Power Village Hall Church Road Guiting Power, Cheltenham GL54 5TX (map)

Helen performs at Guiting Festival with Fretwork Consort of Viols, in a programme celebrating the old and new. Instrumental and vocal music by Henry Purcell is showcased alongside pieces by contemporary composer Michael Nyman, who has a long standing relationship with the consort. One of Nyman’s greatest influences, Purcell’s glorious ‘Music for a While’ provides the basis for Fretwork’s latest commissioned work by Nyman, ‘Music After a While’ written as part of Nyman’s 75th birthday celebrations in 2019.
