Valide

We are delighted to welcome Mark Padmore as our Artist in Residence this year. For this very special first event of his residency, he is joined by world-renowned lutenist Elizabeth Kenny, and together they continue our exploration of lute-songs as a vital part of the history of song.

Elizabethan songwriters were attracted to the expressive possibilities of the sonnet form, and this recital features sonnets by Samuel Danyel and Sir Phillip Sidney. But until now, there has been a musical void where Shakespeare's sonnets might live. Ross Duffin, scholar and author of Shakespeare's Songbook has recently completed a project matching some of the best-loved sonnets to pre-existing tunes from the lute-song repertory. Mark and Liz will perform some of these for the very first time, alongside songs by John Danyel, Thomas Morley and John Dowland.
