I have to admit that our next concert is one of the concerts I am most excited about this year. Of course, each concert becomes a favourite as we get to it, but this is something new and different.
The idea was born a couple of years ago and has been lying quietly dormant, but meeting Norwich-born musicologist, Simon Heighes, last year, was the little boost needed to bring it back to life.
For the first time we will have “live programme notes” to present the music and its background to you in a new and innovative way. In Simon we have the ideal person to put the music into context; historically, socially, artistically and geographically. He has an intimate knowledge of Britain in the 17th/18th centuries and is guaranteed to be full of the sort of nuggets of knowledge you just don’t find in books. Our tour will head down south to Bideford, dawdle in Bath, potter to Newcastle, take an excursion to Scotland, of course call in to East Anglia, visit Oxford and certainly go to the capital at some point. As we travel we will play the music arising from the area and Simon will keep you informed and entertained with tales of the main movers and shakers, the honey-pots to which musicians, artists and philosophers of the time were drawn, the social scene of the day and will give us all a taste of what was such a vibrant and colourful world.
We are also happy to be welcoming back our friend, the ever-popular soprano, Jayne May-Sysum, to bring alive William Hayes’s incredible “Chloe’s dream” (not for the faint hearted I am told), and a “Lover’s message” by Thomas Erskine, the mischievous Earl of Kelly. There will even be the first performance in modern times of music specially edited for the concert by Simon!
Don’t miss this one…..

2014 ~ 7.30pm

Jayne May-Sysum, Soprano

Brian Davis, harp


Schubert, Strauss, Fauré, C G Hambly

The harp and voice are two immensely expressive instruments and the marriage of song and harp is a wonderful joining of musical voices. Jayne and Brian have worked together on numerous occasions and their chosen programme for Binham will show the diversity of music composed for this delightful combination.
Jayne studied with the renowned soprano, April Cantelo and has appeared in major concert venues across the country and was selected to take part in the BBC Radio 2 Kiri Prize.

Brian Davis studied for five years with the Russian harpist, Maria Kochinska, and since then his playing has taken him across Britain and to many tours in Ireland, France and Germany. Brian has worked alongside many instrumentalists, singers and orchestras including the Philharmonia and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
