80 years ago, people performed music in the home as much as they listened to recordings of it. Join mezzo Patricia Hammond and multi-instrumentalist Matt Redman as they perform the best-selling songs of the summer of 1942, as shown in UK sheet-music sales charts! Patricia and Matt will perform from the very same music sheets, and singing along is encouraged!
Songs purchased in their thousands in 1942 include the newly-composed Bluebirds Over the White Cliffs of Dover, the escapist Deep in the Heart of Texas, the exotic Jealousy, and Tangerine, ultra-romantic That Lovely Weekend, the jaunty Ma, I Miss

Incantati brings together three instrumental timbres which were used in the baroque period to represent enchantment or otherworldliness, whether it be the touch of the supernatural, the moment of falling in love or the departure into the next world. In the candlelit ambience of Holy Trinity Church, they perform Inventions and Sinfonias by J S Bach, alongside his Organ Trio Sonata No. 3 in D minor, sacred chorales and fugues and the famous Aria from the Goldberg Variations.

A concert of vocal music illuminating the hidden lives of exceptional women whose worlds revolved around the Queen of the Sciences, Astronomer & Mathematician Mary Somerville (1780-1872).
In 1834, Mary Somerville's book “On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences” exploded onto the cultural stage of Western Europe. For the first time, Somerville described the interdependence of astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology and maths, and explained the latest scientific thinking of the day in language directed to her “country-women”.
