A sequence of songs and arias for voice and lute, devised by and featuring soprano Nardus Williams, classicist and historian Dame Mary Beard and lutenist Elizabeth Kenny.
A compelling exploration of the theme of women’s voices in antiquity and their echoes in later culture in which Mary Beard’s captivating storytelling is interwoven with repertoire for voice and lute by Strozzi, Handel, Caccini, Purcell, and Blow.
