Lute Songs from England, France and Germany
Friday 8th May - Sunday 10th May
An immersive exploration of lute songs from around 1600 in Northern Europe – centred on John Dowland’s best-beloved “First Book of Songes”, but also welcoming repertoire from lands that he visited, finding great acclaim in music-loving courts.
Open to singers of all ranges – soloists and ensemble voices – as well as lutenists, this course welcomes both seasoned performers and newcomers to the lute song tradition. With expert guidance from Emma Kirkby, Florian Franke, and Sam Brown.
