Arcadia
13 October 2024, 1:30pm - 2:30pm
In the magical setting of Worcester College Chapel, a star duo transport us to the beautiful sound world of French and English lute songs, including works by Dowland and Morley, Charpentier and Lambert, and continuing today’s theme of the importance of nature and the countryside. In this glorious music, we often encounter the courtiers of Paris and London singing about shepherds and shepherdesses, whose stories hold up a mirror to the triumphs and disappointments of their own lives.
Due to the limited capacity of Worcester College Chapel, there will be two performances of this concert. If you are attending SongPath in the morning, please select tickets for the 1.30pm performance.
