New Trinity Baroque
From Sorrow to Peace
A universal and sacred Musical Journey through love, nature and the divine.
Centred on works by Dowland, Purcell, and Campion, the programme traces a path through love, longing, sorrow, and reconciliation, combining song with spoken text in a unified dramatic arc. Marking the 400th anniversary year of Dowland, his music, together with that of Purcell, forms the core of this reflective journey.
Developed in London in 2025 and first performed with Sam Brown, the project has since received strong audience and critical acclaim. At its centre lies a personal narrative: following nearly a decade of artistic and personal development in the United Kingdom, Ana Torbica’s musical journey informs the programme’s exploration of identity, belonging, and transformation. The project has been presented internationally, including performances in London and at the Sofia Baroque Arts Festival, as well as at early music festivals in Belgrade and Novi Sad.
Together, the artists offer a refined and immersive interpretation of early English repertoire, connecting historical performance with immediate contemporary emotional resonance and inviting the audience on a sacred journey of reflection and renewal, where they can enter into a dialogue with themselves, the composer, and the artists – in the light of the eternal.
Performed by Ana Torbica (soprano), together with New Trinity Baroque members Michael Fields (lute & guitar) and Predrag Gosta (narrator & harpsichord), in music by Dowland, Purcell, and Campion.
