Yehudi Menuhin School Summer Festival 2023: And All the People Rejoice!

Written by Ian Skelly, the ever popular BBC Radio 3 presenter and speech writer for HM King Charles III when he was The Prince of Wales, this evening offers a highly entertaining, witty and insightful look into the richly historied relationship between music and the monarchy.

Told from the perspective of the very first Master of the King’s Musick, Nicholas Lanier – played by the British star of stage and screen Henry Goodman* – as he travels back and forth in time, the show covers several centuries, numerous monarchs and countless composers. The evening promises to be a quirky and often comical entertainment, full of fascinating anecdotes and wonderful music.
