EMS "Silver" 28/7/2024

Next Sunday's EMS is on "Silver" on at 6:30pm!

Silver - The Early Music Show

In honour of the Paris Olympics, Hannah French explores medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music associated with gold, silver and bronze across three episodes of The Early Music Show.

In second place, it's silver: from silver cymbals to South American silver mines, silver swans to Judas's 30 pieces of silver, Hannah considers the 'second best' metal and examines its connections with early music from Bach to Bolivia.

Just rushed in from the garden thinking I'd missed the start of EMS - and the beggars have moved it for the Proms!
Starts at 6:30pm, in an hour...

Well at least it was a worthwhile Prom it was displaced by, unlike last night! I missed the first ten minutes unfortunately, but still plenty to enjoy, including finishing with "the Silver Swan" - and no news slot.
