Composed over 850 years ago, The Play of Daniel is an amazing piece of medieval musical theatre which tells the Old Testament stories of the Writing on the Wall and Daniel in the Lion’s Den. This new interpretation by Richmond’s own medieval minstrels Trouvere features an impressive range of instruments and really brings out the storytelling in the piece. Great fun!

The organ at St Mary’s is rather special. Made by Harrison & Harrison of Durham and installed in 1912, it’s a great period piece with a wonderful sound.

We are delighted to feature an organ recital for the first time at MayFest, with renowned organist Andrew Christer.
