Barber Lunchtime Concert
Friday 28 March 1-1.50pm
Elgar Concert Hall, Bramall
Free
Hugh Cutting countertenor
Daniel Murphy lute
This programme takes the golden age of lutesong as its basis with works of Dowland, Campion, Strozzi and Monteverdi. The affects of these masterpieces are then mirrored, answered or developed in later song repertoire from art song composers such as Hahn, Mendelssohn, and Britten, and by artists like Fleetwood Mac, Don McLean and The Beatles. It’s a celebration of the ways that songwriters have coloured and re-coloured our experience of love in all its forms.
Please note that latecomers will not be admitted to this concert as it is being recorded for radio broadcast.
