Experience the glory of brass music from the Renaissance to the Baroque in the lovely setting of Hellingly Church, with iconic works by masters such as Monteverdi, Handel, Bach and Purcell alongside lesser-known gems by Gabrieli, Scheidt, Pezel and Byrd. Formed in 2022 from five of the best brass players in Sussex, Long Man Brass explore repertoire for the modern brass quintet. Its members are active musicians and educators who have performed at major venues with many of the country's leading orchestras.
Composers have always imitated, studied, fallen in love with, and sometimes loathed each other. Distinguished international mezzo-soprano Louise Winter and pianist William Hancox explore these relationships and tensions both in the songs of French and German late romantics and in the golden age of 20th century English song. They illustrate their theme from a fabulous diversity of composers including Clara Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, Wolf, Duparc, Bridge, Berg, Muriel Herbert, Rebecca Clarke, Vaughan Williams, Britten and Madeleine Dring.
On 5th December and 19th December, from 11.30am-1.30pm, Care UK’s Bowes House, on Battle Road, is helping older members of the community to get into the festive spirit by inviting them to its winter warmer events.
