Sunday 21 February 2016, 3.00pm - 5.00pm

Pellingmans' Saraband: Faye Newton (soprano) Susanna Pell (viol) Jacob Heringman (lute)

Pellingmans’ Saraband (Susanna Pell, viol and Jacob Heringman, lute) with Faye Newton (voice) and guest singers present a vivid glimpse of sixteenth and seventeenth-century domestic music making. The programme includes ingenious rounds by Thomas Ravenscroft, lute songs by Campion, Lanier and others, and instrumental solos and duos in a fascinating virtuoso exploration of the popular chord progressions (or “grounds”) of the day.

Jacob Heringman and Susanna Pell have been musical colleagues for almost 25 years and have both enjoyed distinguished careers at the forefront of the early music movement; Jacob as a soloist and with many prominent period ensembles; Susanna as a freelance performer and member of the pioneering groups, Fretwork and The Dufay Collective. Between them they've made 150 recordings for major record labels and played in many prestigious concert series and music festivals throughout the world.

Part of the Early Music Festival.
