Programme

Overview

Travel back to King Charles I’s vibrant Stuart court as the Academy of Ancient Music revives William Lawes’s daring compositions for cavaliers and courtly dances. Experience an evening of elegant seduction, playful repartee and the revolutionary new sounds of 17th-century England.Journey back to the glittering Stuart court as the Academy of Ancient Music breathes new life into the Royall Consort’s groundbreaking repertoire. With the brilliant William Lawes at its heart, music flows in intricate lute arabesques, soaring violin lines and the gentle counterpoint of harpsichord and viola da gamba, conjuring an atmosphere of elegant seduction and playful courtly discourse. Amid whispers of minuet steps and the shimmer of lace-trimmed doublets, each phrase carries a shadow of unrest, hinting at the looming civil war. This enchanting musical restoration blends Renaissance charm and a bold new violin voice into an evening of rich artistry that delights the senses and stirs the imagination.
