Event details

Join early song specialists Musicke in the Ayre as they provide luscious lunchtime fare from France and Italy. Written by Luzzaschi, Lambert, Strozzi, Monteverdi and others for the then newly emerging all-female ensembles, these pieces became musical ‘must-haves’ in the noble courts of the time. 

About the performers

Musicke in the Ayre features Din Ghani and three sopranos: Helen Atkinson, Carmel Edwards and Marie Lemaire.
