Heartstrings

Barber Lunchtime Concert 

Hugh Cutting countertenor
Daniel Murphy lute

Please note that latecomers will not be admitted to this concert as it is being recorded for radio broadcast. 

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.

Doors open at 12:30.
Please arrive in good time to avoid disappointment.
Barber Lunchtime Concerts are open to all.
