Winter, in the 16th century, could be a harsh time with long nights and little fresh food, but the Twelve Days of Christmas were filled with feasting, music, dancing, singing, games and revelry. PIVA will capture this flavour by playing and singing music of the period and telling tales from the time.
Festive treats include mince pies, mulled wine and fizz.

Join us for three days of music making in the glorious Halsway Manor in Somerset. This will be our fifth Real Roots! course and we welcome both familiar and new faces. This year we will be focusing on the music from across Europe – France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. There’s lots to explore and we will be looking at everything from popular dance and song tunes through to some more lengthy works.
We’re delighted that David Jarratt-Knock will be with us and he will be running some ‘loud wind’ groups. As ever, there’s opportunities for playing recorders, viols, violin, shawms, curtals and bagpipes ….. and lots more besides! A feature of the course will be for participants to play on some of Piva’s vast range of instruments, such as crumhorns, bagpipes and Great Consort recorders.

We are delighted to be joining the Lampeter Music Club where we will be presenting our “Measure for Measure” programme.
Shakespeare wrote for all of society – from the courtiers who paid handsomely for the best seats in the theatre through to the servants paying a penny to stand as groundlings in the pit. We will be performing pieces which run the gamut from village green to stately court and rowdy tavern to country house. As with any PIVA show, we bring the period alive with stories and tales about life in Shakespeare’s theatre.
We are delighted to be paying another visit to the lovely village of Swalcliffe, where we will be presenting our “Measure for Measure” programme.
