Programme

Overview

Discover the many shades of melancholy through an intimate programme of 16th- and 17th-century song. A soprano and a lute and theorbo specialist weave together longing, love and reflection, where sorrow meets flashes of wit.Step into an intimate musical journey as a soprano and a lute and theorbo specialist trace the emotional depths of 16th- and 17th-century Europe. Through works by John Dowland, Francesca Caccini, Claudio Monteverdi and Barbara Strozzi, they explore melancholy in its many hues—from introspective yearning and romantic ardor to poignant lament. The intertwining of lush voice and gentle pluck of the theorbo brings songs of longing and reflection to life, punctuated by moments of light wit that reveal sorrow as a richly textured emotional landscape. This beautifully curated programme invites you to pause, listen and discover the healing power of music in moments of deep introspection.
