Purcell's Polyphonic Party
Purcell's Polyphonic Party are a trio of musicians come together to combine their love of Purcell, Playford, Baroque and the Nordic Noir. With 99+ strings to their armoury of unusual instruments you can be assured that a dance evening has plenty of variety.
Take one spinet, one viola d’amore , one nyckelharpa. Stir occasionally with gondola and accordion. Once mixed add one set of bagpipes, a light sprinkling of flageolet and allow to simmer gently together on stage for around 2 – 3 hours. The enjoy some beautifully served up Playford dances.
Jen Morgan is a caller, dancer and organiser, with a love of contra and Playford.
Jen organises the Coventry Zesty Playford series of dances, where we focus on dancing with energy and enthusiasm, welcoming everyone and bringing Playford dancing to new audiences. Jen is looking forward to building on this with an evening of fun and accessible Playford dances, called in a friendly and inclusive manner, with a focus on energy and fun.
