Musicke in the Ayre: Carmel Edwards – soprano, Din Ghani – lute
St Bride's Church, EC4Y 8AU , [Venue Details]'From dusk to dawn, with Dowland' – Songs of John Dowland (1563 – 1626) at our free lunchtime recital.
Musicke in the Ayre was formed by Din Ghani in 2011 as a vehicle for exploring and performing the vast repertoire of C16/17 works for solo voice(s) accompanied by lute or similar, with a growing band of singers and other instrumentalists who share his passion for lute song.
Now established as leading performers of this repertoire, they (with contributions from over 20 singers both amateur and professional) have given over 185 recitals across the country and abroad, including a residency for two years at the National Portrait Gallery, as well as regular appearances at the Foundling Museum in London and the Holburne Museum in Bath. They currently hold a residency at St Mary’s Bathwick in Bath.
Carmel Edwards has been singing since the age of five and sings as a soloist or with choral groups in and around the East Midlands. She studied with Nick Clapton in Oxford and has taken part in masterclasses with Dame Emma Kirkby and Evelyn Tubb.
Din Ghani began playing the lute in 1975, and in the last two decades took up luthery; he has made a number of lutes and other early plucked string instruments, mostly for his own use (including the 7-course lute used in this recital).
