A Platnauer Concert marking the 400th anniversary of the death of John Dowland, presented by EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble.
EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble mark the 400th anniversary of the death of John Dowland with a programme centred on his lute songs, heard both in their original versions for solo voice and in Dowland’s own arrangements for four voices. Alongside these are madrigals by his contemporary Thomas Morley, as well as later reflections on Dowland’s music.
The programme concludes with Song by Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, a modern response based on Dowland’s Flow my tears.
Reception
A complimentary drinks reception will follow in the Medieval Kitchen.
