Worcestershire Early Music

We are delighted to announce that Oliver Webber will be giving a FREE, pre-concert talk at 14.30 in advance of the concert on 5 October 2025 (at 15.30). This will also be held at the Old Bishop’s Palace.

The phrase “A Thousand Flexible Ways” comes from a 17th-century Italian “dictionary” describing a “fine voice… ornamenting with accented and articulated diminutions.” Find out more at the pre-concert talk, before hearing the Monteverdi String Band’s performance!

Tickets are £22.00 and can be bought at the door or in advance via: https://earlymusic.sumupstore.com/

Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Students

Our end of season concert in the Old Bishop’s Palace was a fantastic occasion, attended by a magnificent audience who were well rewarded with some wonderful playing from the conservatoire students……..”the amazing young talent we were privileged to enjoy made for a most heart-warming finale to the season” wrote one of our regular audience members. And another was heard to say: “It seems the future of early music is in safe hands”

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful season of Worcestershire Early Music concerts. Our next season’s dates and artists can be found on the events page and news of the venue will follow shortly.

Our last concert of the season will take place on Sunday 15th June at 3.30pm in

The Bishop’s Palace, Deansway, Worcester

It’s right on the bend before/after the cathedral (depending on which way you’re facing!) Nearest parking is Copenhagen St Car Park (there will only be spaces in the Palace car park for those with a Blue Badge)

We hope you will agree that this is a beautiful venue for our summer concert, offering a complementary ambience to the music we promote.

Students from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire studying Historical Performance will perform for us, playing works by Telemann, J.S.Bach, Henry Purcell, Francois Couperin and Jean-Baptiste Lully.

As they come to the end of their final year they will appreciate this opportunity to perform before they begin their professional careers.

Tickets are £20 (free entry to under 18’s) and can be bought at the door or from:earlymusic.sumupstore.com
