Hartes Ease is a group of musicians who give regular concerts throughout the Island. Their  performances include mainly renaissance music for recorders, viols and voices. The Tallis Consort is a group of singers specialising in a cappella music. The repertoire is mostly medieval and renaissance music, but also includes works by more modern composers.

There is no charge and tickets are not required for the concert which begins at 7.30pm, presenting music both sacred and secular for voices, viols and recorders. There will be items from each group and some pieces with everyone taking part. These will include the verse anthem “This is the record of John” by Gibbons and “Plorate filii Israel” by Carissimi.
