| Festival Description | Associate Professor Winsome Evans OAM BEM, and star of the controversial documentary “Facing the Music,” directs her colourful and celebrated early music group, the Renaissance Players, in their 31st Runnymede Pop Festival—a unique concert of mediaeval music and poetry performed in costume and on a range of period instruments. This concert picks the best of the Players’ recent recorded works, including the Cantigas de Santa Maria (tales of bizarre miracles performed by the Virgin according to medieval Spanish legend!) and pilgrim songs from Montserrat and Compostela.The 31st Runnymede Pop Festival takes place at the Sydney University’s famous and athmospheric neo-Gothic Great Hall on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th July at 7:00pm. Apart from the legendary Ms. Evans (who plays over 30 instruments!) musicians include Andrew Tredinnick, Andrew Lambkin, Chris May, Nick Tester, Ian Shanahan, Nick Wales, John Robinson, singers Tim Chung and Sasha Curthoys plus long-time poetry reader and ‘bard’ Geoff Sirmai. |
