Love From Afar

Lonesome lovers, beguiling songsters, provocative nightingales, friends at play – just a few of the characters you will encounter in this programme of songs from the courts of 12th-century France.

As well as giving voice to feelings of universal appeal, the selection tells the story of a medieval love affair with the medium itself – one that formed joyful and creative connections among song-makers, performers and audiences, near and far.

Performers:
Hannah Ely soprano
Rebekah Jones alto
Paul Bentley-Angell tenor
with singers from Siglo de Oro
Patrick Allies director
