Aural Histories was an AHRC-funded project led by Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (2022–2025) exploring musical experience in late medieval and early modern Coventry. Through performance and recording within digital reconstructions of historic spaces, the project focused on music associated with the city’s civic and ecclesiastical centre, including St Michael’s church, Holy Trinity church, and St Mary’s Guildhall. Spanning two centuries of religious and political change, the research reveals these buildings as dynamic ritual and performance spaces. Selected works can be experienced via the Aural Histories mobile app, which visitors are encouraged to download before their visit.
Entry is included with standard daytime admission from 25 January throughout February.
