Full Event Details
The perfect digestif to Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers: an intimate, atmospheric lute recital of music from the same period – but a world away in its soft-edged, resonant beauty. John Dowland and Robert Johnson's dances and fantasies are here interwoven with dream-like music from Erik Satie. Join Gramophone Award winner Toby Carr as he brings his ‘Softest Thunder’ to Stour.
