Concert - John Dowland, Ensemble Jupiter

Do you like John Dowland? Accompanying himself on the lute, this British musician captivated European courts with his tender and melancholic singing. To mark the 400th anniversary of the Elizabethan composer’s death, the Ensemble Jupiter promises to strike a chord deep in our hearts with its poignant Songs, which capture every nuance of heartbreak. Under the motto “Semper Dowland, semper dolens,” the *Lachrimæ* are also admirable instrumental tears, whose poetry and refinement capture and console us in all our sorrows. Lutenist Thomas Dunford and his Ensemble Jupiter—which brings together the finest soloists of the new Baroque generation—excelle in this remarkable repertoire.
