Take a remarkable ‘walk in the woods’ in Westminster Ponds – a beautiful pocket of Southeast London and an Environmentally Significant Area right within the city – will be the site for an exciting event that London Pro Musica Choir has planned to kick off our new season. It is called “Byrd in the Woods” and it is an “Outdoor Musical Experience‘.
Does the idea of being in nature on a crisp fall morning, and leading a small group of music-lovers down a winding path through the forest to encounter occasional singing stations performing a cappella Renaissance tunes by composer William Byrd sound like something you might enjoy? Because that’s what this will be, and we’d love you to be part of it! We will have volunteer guides to lead you on this wonderful outdoor musical walk.
The event is free to the public with donations to London Pro Musica gratefully received and appreciated. Pre-registration is encouraged. Good footwear is a must. The nature walk will take approximately 50-65 minutes. The trail is of moderate difficulty, mainly flat though uneven terrain, with some hills and many tree roots. This event is not accessible for mobility device users. Please note that there are no restrooms.
