The\u00a0brightly coloured costumes will add to the neo-Gothic splendour of the banner-decorated Great Hall; \u00a0the exotic and authentic plucked, blown, bowed and percussion early instruments will include harp, psaltery, mandora, gittern, ud, diwan saz, sinfonye, rebecs, vielles, shawms, lur,\u00a0 gemshorns, dou\u00e7aine, whistles, portative organ, duct flute, tapans, dairehs, darabukka, castanets, tambourines, zils, handbells and more!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The very first Runnymede Pop Festival was launched in 1973 in the Great Hall with eminent performers such as Prof. Frederick May, Graham Pushee, Lyndon Terracini, Michael Atherton, Barbara Stackpool, Wayne Richmond, Jonathan Rubin and Winsome Evans.<\/p>\n

This concert series has established itself as the longest-running, regular festival of medi\u00e6val music, poetry and mime in Australia. These festivals continue to reinforce The Renaissance Players\u2019 long association with Sydney University and its Great Hall where they presented their very first concert in September 1966. Now, with hundreds of concerts to their name, the Renaissance Players\u2019 discography runs to 25 internationally acclaimed CD recordings; they anticipate the release of a new 2 CD collection of mediaeval music will be available at the performances.<\/p>\n
