trumpet Educational & Outreach Programme: Tudor Tymes

QuintEssential's hands-on, costumed, all-singing all-dancing musical extravaganzas are a THING OF THE PAST!

Our audiences, of all ages and abilities, are guided using their own experience, toward the answers for the many questions posed during our concerts.

Henry VIII Surround sound
a thing of the past?
gondolier
Henry married six
times — what else
did he get up to?

trumpet
When is a garden hose like a trumpet?
Brawling in the classroom: a Renaissance dance, maybe?

Here's a chance to get involved, have a laugh and see and hear something out of the ordinary. QuintEssential can be with you for just sixty minutes or a whole day. You'll get loads of music, loads of fun, loads of facts, most of which cover and go beyond the music and history requirements on the National Curriculum.

back to front page The concert went down really well with our students. I was particularly impressed with the way in which the members of QuintEssential explained the history and technicalities of the instruments. All this was done clearly and with humour. The music itself was beautiful and greatly appreciated by the audience.
