A Journey through the History of Period Instruments

Clare Hall launches its 2025/26 Intimate Engagements series with a performance of period instrument specialists Maggie Faultless, Rachel Stroud, and Andrew Skidmore. Join them for a captivating journey through the history of music, exploring the evolution of instruments, the hidden meanings in musical notation, and the evidence that informs our understanding of historical performance practice.
The trio will perform repertoire spanning nearly 200 years – some familiar, others newly rediscovered – all brought to life with a fresh, playful perspective on musical history.
