Two Moors Festival ‘Renaissance Singers’
Directed by Colin Howard

 

 

 

The market town of South Molton boasts beautifully restored and finely decorated Assembly Rooms dating back to Victorian times. They are above the Pannier Market which is a hive of activity on Thursday and Saturday mornings. The Rooms make a fine setting for a programme of madrigals and church music by amongst others, Thomas Tallis, William Byrd (who was a pupil of Tallis), Gibbons and in particular, movements from Palestrina’s Missa Brevis. Colin Howard directs the Two Moors Festival ‘Renaissance Singers’ in a concert which will add flavour to Sunday lunch - not a roast, but a very good meal.
