Dear Early Music listers,
Just to let you know, in case you don't know already, we have unfortunately had to postpone our lunchtime concert in the Blue Room. The date had changed from Saturday 17th to 24th August, and then, for various logistical reasons we have decided to postpone it altogether. Watch this space for the new date, probably in 2026. If you bought tickets online, the Blue Room will be in touch with you about refunds.
We are all very sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment caused.
On a more positive note... we are super excited to have been invited to play on
Saturday 13th September in Belton House (exact time to be confirmed, but likely starting mid-morning). The house is just the perfect setting for our core period of music, having been built in the 1680s! This event is part of the Belton Estate Community Festival which coincides with the Heritage Open Weekend. [https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/submission-event/belton-community-festival-2025.html]
We now have more details about our concert with the Diocesan Ladies' Choir. It is on
Saturday October 4th in Metheringham Village Hall at 7pm (NOT the 18th as originally advertised)
This is a joint fund-raiser concert with the Diocesan Ladies' Choir, conducted by Lee Rooke, and will include Vivaldi's Gloria, Bach's Jesu Joy of man's desiring alongside lovely choral and instrumental pieces.
On Friday October 10th, 7pm Sixteen Eighty Five members team up with the City of Lincoln Waites to play for the Nettleham All Saints Church Concert series. The title Music through the ages... hints at the amazing range of music we'll be sharing, ranging from the early 13th century Crusade song Palastinalied through to the positively modern 18th century E minor trio sonata by Telemann. And in between, we have a couple of pieces played by members of the newly formed ensemble, "Zoffany" which will include an unfamiliar brass family instrument. You have to be there to find out what it is!
Tickets £10 (cash on the door) or from Troika and the Community Hub
On Wednesday November 5th, 12:45pm return to Louth Conoco Room for the Allegro Appassionato lunchtime series. Jane and Helen and Wendy are looking forward to playing another selection of favourites for the lovely audience there.
Free (retiring collection)
We would love to see you at one or other of the concerts and do bring your friends and family members along too!
Best wishes
Helen
