5-part re-Invention – Ron Hannah
The lonely princess – Ron Hannah
Quintet, for four recorders and harpsichord – Jong S. Kim

Allégresse – Jenni Pinnock

They will be performed, alongside new works by Stephen Watkins and Ivan Moody, by Dulcis Venti with harpsichordist Francis Knights in a concert at 7:30pm on Saturday 4th June 2016 at the Headgate Theatre Colchester. Tickets (£8/£6) will be available from the Headgate Theatre box office closer to the time.
