Dowland on Harpsichord

The beauty and quality of Dowland's music was widely recognised in his day well beyond the world of lute afficionados, and many of the leading keyboard players arranged it for their instruments. Matthew Brown performs these in a mellow late-night concert.

British harpsichordist, early organist, and director Matthew Brown is in demand as a continuo player, recitalist, repetiteur, vocal coach and conductor across London and beyond. A graduate of the University of Bristol (BA with First Class Honours) and Guildhall School of Music and Drama (MPerf with Distinction), Matthew has studied under various leading harpsichordists such as Carole Cerasi, James Johnstone, and Colin Booth, with masterclass coaching and individual lessons from Jörg-Andreas Bötticher, Francesco Corti, Steven Devine, and Christian Curnyn, and was generously funded by the Tobacco Pipe Makers’ Company Scholarship in his Masters studies. Matthew is a member of BBC New Generation Baroque Ensemble, Bellot Ensemble.
