Minstrels
Gallery were formed to bring early music to a new audience. It has
been our experience that there is a genuine interest amongst people
would not normally attend a "classical" music concert.
The often lively and rhythmic vivacity of the music along with the
unusual sound and appearance of the many instruments we play sparks
the imagination of our listeners. This was born out by a series
of informal concerts held in the Great Hall of the British Museum.
A very diverse and mixed audience showed a lot of interest and asked
many questions about the music and its performance.
This experience has led Minstrels Gallery to develop a number
of concert formats where we not only perform but also explain
the music, instruments and their historic setting. This along with
our school visits, where children are given the opportunity to play
on the many instruments we bring, has convinced us of the enduring
delight that early music can create.
