The Goods Shed Arts Centre GL8 8EY, 3.00pm PANEL DISCUSSON LED BY DONALD MACLEOD The finest musicians deserve the finest instruments, but how do they access such priceless treasures? In this panel discussion, led by BBC Radio 3 legend Donald Macleod, we go behind the scenes in search of the people who discover, buy and restore extraordinarily old and valuable instruments, and find out how the instruments then reach the hands of the elite players who can bring them gloriously to life.

The Goods Shed Arts Centre GL8 8EY, 3.00pm SIR NICHOLAS KENYON LECTURE The Pied Pipers of Early Music – how period performance changed the musical world The 1980s saw a surge of interest in playing the music of the past on the instruments of the past – and in the manner of the composers’ times. Where had this idea come from, and why did it emerge when it did, and did anyone think it would ever become so influential rather than just a scholarly exercise? The distinguished arts administrator and writer on music Sir Nicholas Kenyon looks for answers, profiling the figures who had already paved the way and assessing the lasting impact of the ‘early music’ movement.
