A Brief History of Music

A whistle-stop tour of Western musical history, from the Middle Ages through to the end of the 20th century in this fun and fast-moving show, featuring long forgotten songs.

Blast from the Past paint a vibrant and vivid picture of our musical DNA, mixing the familiar and the obscure, the raucous and the reflective and the courtly and the commonplace.

From the vigour of the medieval period and the musical intricacy of the Renaissance to the grandeur of the Baroque and the pomp of Victoriana this is a lively and veritable musical feast!

Complete with a bewildering array of instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, rauschpfeife and vihuela (and that’s just the first 100 years!).
