An Evening of Music Inspired by the Bury Psalter

An Evening of Music Inspired by the Bury Psalter

April 21, 2023 | 7:00 pm 8:30 pm
St Edmundsbury Cathedral

For centuries the sound of sacred songs being sung by medieval monks would have filled the atmosphere at the Abbey in Bury St Edmunds. This one-off special event is an opportunity to experience what that might have sounded like. Starting with a performance of some music from the Bury Psalter, a beautifully illuminated book of Psalms which dates from around 1400 and which was made and used at the Abbey, early music experts Hexachordia will take us on a journey through music of the medieval era, played on authentic copies of instruments of the time including the harp, vielle, gittern and psaltery.

 

This is a partnership event organised by St Edmundsbury Cathedral and Suffolk Archives.

Tickets are £10.00. Please book here.
