Musicke in the Ayre Concert
2025-09-20 15:00 - 16:00 | St Mary the Virgin, Bathwick, Darlington Street, Bath, United Kingdom
From cloister to court: music by women composers in the early period
Musicke in the Ayre return to St Mary’s in September with a programme covering 5 centuries of compositions by women, beginning with the 12th century Abbess, Hildegard von Bingen. The early church provided musically-gifted women a secure environment in which to receive musical training and to apply their talents: in the 17th century this allowed women like Isabella Leonarda, Chiara Cozzolani and Lucretia Vizzana to make their mark. By that stage, patronage from the noble courts – particularly in Italy – made it possible for a few outstanding women to establish themselves as composers outside the church. In Florence in1607, the Medici court employed the young Francesca Caccini as their leading musician; she published a book of secular and sacred songs in 1618. A generation later in Venice, Barbara Strozzi published 8 books, dedicated to a variety of patrons.
The concert features a contrasting set of sacred and secular pieces by these special women, sung by a new grouping of Musicke in the Ayre’s singing team: locally-based Jane Hunt is joined by Carmel Edwards from Derbyshire and Alice Simmons from Marlborough. They’ll be accompanied as usual by Din Ghani on various lutes and baroque guitar.
In the Church Hall, 20th September, 3 – 4pm.
Refreshments available before and after the concert.
Tickets £12 at the door, online booking details to be confirmed.

KATONA TWINS ‘ALHAMBRA INSPIRATIONS’ – Virtuoso Spanish music for two guitars
2026-04-09 19:30 - 21:30 | St Mary the Virgin, Bathwick, Darlington Street, Bath, United Kingdom
The Alhambra Palace was built in the Middle Ages, in the city of Granada, following the Arab conquest of Spain. With its impressive mosaics and sun-drenched gardens, it inspired the creation of many wonderful compositions throughout the centuries. Several of those masterpieces feature in this unique programme.
Identical Twins Peter and Zoltan Katona have given recitals in major concert venues throughout the world including performances at Carnegie Hall in New-York, Wigmore Hall in London, The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, The Konzerthaus in Vienna and the Suntory Hall in Tokyo. They effortlessly transfer from strictly classical, into more popular musical genres and played together with renowned musicians such as Yo-Yo Ma and world class ensembles such as the BBC Concert Orchestra. As the classical soloists of the “Night of the Proms” concerts they performed live to half a million people in arenas across Europe. They have won over ten international prizes at major competitions among others in New York and in London. They have released 11 CDs and their recordings featured in the US blockbuster TV series ‘Fargo’ and in a Broadway show with Hollywood star Hugh Jackman. They have been invited to perform for major international TV and radio stations such as the BBC (UK), RTÉ (Ireland) and many others.
International Press Quotes:
“The intense ensemble between the Katonas is irresistible,”
The Times, London
“Virtuosos who play with an almost eerie unanimity of style and considerable charm.”
New Yorker
“Continuous interplay of give and take, as if guided by some inner telepathic force”
The Straits Times, Singapore
Doors open at 7pm

Early Lute Songs on the Continent Concert
2026-04-11 15:00 - 16:00 | St Mary the Virgin, Bathwick, Darlington Street, Bath, United Kingdom
Early lute songs on the Continent
Musicke in the Ayre’s first concert this year explores some of the earliest printed music for voice and lute. The pairing of voice and plucked strings has captivated listeners since medieval times, but it was the invention by the end of the 15th century of music printing with movable type—alongside the lute emerging as “King of Instruments”— that helped popularise the intimate genre of lute song. Soprano Jane Hunt and lutenist Din Ghani trace this rich repertoire from Venice around 1500 to Flanders a century later. Along the way, they delve into feisty frottole, elegant chansons, and refined madrigale—works originally written for three to five voices, republished in idiomatic and appealing arrangements for voice and lute. As well as his lute, Din will be playing a viola da mano – a guitar-shaped relative of the lute popular at the time. This is music designed to please!
