Love from Afar
Temple Church, EC4Y 7BB , [Venue Details]- Paul Bentley-Angell (tenor)
- Rebekah Nießer-Jones (mezzo-soprano)
- Ben Rowarth (bass-baritone)
- with Emma Dillon, Musical Lives project, King's College London
Lonesome lovers. Beguiling songsters. Provocative nightingales. Friends at play. These are a just few of the characters you will encounter in this programme of songs from the courts of twelfth-century France.
As well as giving voice to feelings of universal appeal, tonight’s selection tells the story of a medieval love-affair with the medium itself – one forming joyful and creative connections among song-makers, performers and audiences, near and far.
Performed in the Round Church, the programme is the second in a series of an innovative collaboration between singers from Siglo de Oro (dir. Patrick Allies) and scholars from the UKRI-funded Musical Lives project, in partnership with the Temple Music Foundation.
Join us as our singers breathe new life into songs rarely heard today, performing an eclectic sample from one of Europe’s earliest surviving traditions of love song.
