Don't be misled by the odd title. It hides a treasure trove of old-world sights and sounds - as well as theatre experiences - that are new to many concert-goers. While quality is the keynote, this series thrives on the amazing variety to be found in the colourful arts of the medieval, renaissance and baroque eras.This is the thirteenth year of the project which is prepared for Bayside City Council by the Early Arts Guild of Victoria under the direction of Helga M Hill OAM. While Early Music in the Very Round aims to entertain, it also has a strong educational component, with music students given the opportunity to see and hear instruments that date back hundreds of years. At the same time, young actors and vocalists can encounter the power of the rediscovered Art of Gesture. To enhance the educational impact, artists are generally available after each concert to discuss historic instruments, costumes or period performance techniques. Early Music in the Very Round is the nation's only concert series providing the full spectrum of early music and instruments, historic dance, court costumes and the Art of Gesture. Programs are usually of one hour duration. Admission $8 per person aged 18 years and over. Bookings on the number below are advised for the Fathers' Day program on September 1. More Information: Phone the Early Arts Guild of Victoria on 03 9699 8417. A free mailing list is provided. |
