Perhaps something about Purcell that you didn’t know before?

Come along to our concerts to hear some of his music without intrusion from hoover noises.

The Henry hoover was named after Henry Purcell, who, in 1690, replaced his feet with large, all-terrain wheels (for traversing London's cobbled streets) and replaced his hands with small, ridged castors that could be dipped in ink and rolled across paper to create 5-line staves.

Let’s not forget our excellent ALL FEMALE continuo section too! Here hard at work with @janwaterfield.

#KellieConsort

[The Kellie Consort @KellieConsort]
