As is well known, Sir Walter Raleigh's many accomplishments included poetry, and a number of his poems have been set to music.
This was the basis for the programme put together by lutenist Din Ghani and performed at the National Portrait Gallery in London on 23 February.
Musick in the Ayre's 'Amor et virtute' tea-time concert in honour of Raleigh's 400th anniversary has just been booked for Saturday 22 September at the church of St Michael and All Angels, Mount Dinham, in Exeter.
Details about the church are at http://www.stmichaelsmountdinham.org.uk/
The
performance will be from 3.00pm to 4.00pm. Tickets £10 at the door (including
refreshments afterwards), online booking arrangements to be sorted nearer the
time.
