Dear <<Name>>

Welcome to the February edition (and the first for 2020!) of the Grainger eNews. We hope our readers have had a happy and safe start to the year. 

In this month's edition, we take a look at one of Percy's most memorable compositions, Lincolnshire Posy. We share interesting information about the folk song collection process behind this composition, and highlight the "four hands" adaption of the piece, of which the Grainger Museum has just been gifted an autographed score by a generous donor. 

We chat with our volunteer Ashley about her favourite Grainger Collection items and ask her what she most enjoys about volunteering at the Grainger.

Finally, we encourage you to watch this space for more events as part of our current exhibition How it Plays in the coming months.


Warm Regards,
Grainger Museum
