In Echo: Music in a Cold Climate – sounds of Hansa Europe
12 November 2024 - 12 November 2024
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
This fascinating programme explores the instrumental music that passed between these ports and countries in the 16th and 17th centuries, from dances to sonatas, including Pavans inspired by John Dowland’s famous Lachrimae to elaborate music by major figures such as the German/Danish organist Dietrich Buxtehude, a precursor of Bach. In the virtuosic hands of Gawain Glenton’s In Echo, these rarely-heard gems will sparkle as brightly as they did in centuries past.
