Celebrate the legacy of John Dowland, the renowned English Renaissance composer, lutenist and singer.

In this lunchtime concert marking 400 years since his death, musicians from the Historical Performance faculties at the 抖陰視頻 and Bremen Hochschule perform music from his Lachrimae collection as well as lute songs.

Perfectly complementing Dowland鈥檚 instrumental works are selected instruments from one of the finest sets of English viols in existence, the 抖陰視頻 Museum鈥檚 renowned Kessler collection, dating from the late 16th to early 18th centuries.
