Chris Mostert (tenor) | Dillon Davie (theorbo)Join us for an exquisite evening honouring 400 years since the passing of John Dowland, the Master of Melancholy and one of England’s greatest Renaissance composers. Theorbist Dillon Davie and tenor Chris Mostert explore the haunting songs of this maestro of melancholy in an intimate programme of extraordinary beauty. Though it has been half a millennium since they were written, the lute songs of Dowland speak with startling immediacy to universal human themes and emotions: longing, sorrow, lost love and the bittersweet passage of time. The theorbo — Dowland’s lute in its most gloriously resonant form — adds a warm, golden texture that perfectly complements the expressive lyrical tenor. Come and be transported to Elizabethan England for an evening of timeless music. Flow My Tears will linger in your heart long after the final note has faded.
