Master Byrd at The Stour FestivalA play by Brean Hammond
Starring Vincent Franklin, with live choral interpolations by The Renaissance Singers
The year is 1611 and away from the intrigues of court William Byrd rehearses a choir in his patron’s house at Ingatestone, Essex. Byrd reflects on life, music, marriage and his religion.
His thoughts are punctuated by his own choral music as we watch him struggling to understand the mystery that is his own music and what lies at its heart.
The great composer will be embodied by the superb actor Vincent Franklin, whose television work includes Happy Valley 2 and 3, Doc Martin, Bodyguard, Cucumber, The Office, Twenty Twelve, The Thick of It and Decline and Fall and whose film work includes Topsy Turvy, Peterloo, The Bourne Identity and Allelujah!
If you saw us perform this work at Ingatestone Hall in 2023 you'll know how powerful it is. Not to be missed.
We are thrilled to be included in the superb Stour Festival programme. For information and booking, see https://www.stourmusic.org.uk
