The GEES Project challenges the old assumption that girls were not allowed to perform on the early English stage. It explores girls’ participation in English dramatic culture from its earliest beginnings, and shows that they took active roles in religious drama, court masques, royal entries, civic pageants, and household entertainments: basically everywhere except the commercial London stage of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.

'Parthenia or the Maydenhead of the first musicke that ever was printed for the Virginalls (in England at least), composed by three famous masters: William Byrd, Dr. John Bull and Orlando Gibbons' was probably printed in 1613 probably as part of the celebrations for a royal wedding. MIO's Artistic Director John Edwards talks to keyboardist Louise Hung about pitch and temperament - how early keyboards were not tuned the same way a modern piano is. We then hear Louise Hung perform Gibbons' Fantazia in Foure Parts. This episode was originally released on the Musicians In Ordinary's podcast feed.
