Dear, if you change

Shall I strive with words to move
In darkness let me dwell

2020 begins with an intimate recital of songs for voice and lute. Soprano Julia Doyle specializes in Baroque repertoire and has put together an attractive programme of music by Purcell, Monteverdi, Strozzi, Caccini and Merula with the famous English lutenist Matthew Wadsworth, who enthralled us when he played at the Bunyan Meeting in January 2015.
