Two tenors, theorbos, and baroque guitars!
The Rock on Locke - St. John the Evangelist, 320 Charlton Ave West, Hamilton, ON
Bud Roach and Jonathan Stuchbery present a programme of Northern Italian love songs, with guest soprano Sheila Dietrich.
An encore performance of Diapente's program celebrating the life and music of John Dowland 400 years since his death. This will be the opening show of the Toronto Lachrimae Festival and presented by Friends of Music at St. Thomas.
Four community groups present sets of Dowland’s music: The University of Toronto Viols, the Community Baroque Ensemble of Toronto, members of the Toronto Chamber Choir, and introducing the debut of the Bandora’s Pox Broken Consort. Admission is free and donations are encouraged. Doors open at 7:00.
It’s time for Toronto’s musical community to let its hair down and sing some Dowland at this open-mic pub afternoon! Come to just listen, or come to sing or play, and show us YOUR TAKE on Dowland’s mighty oeuvre. If straightforward Dowland is your jam, great! But this could also be the time to unveil your banjo interpretation of Sorrow, stay. You’ll laugh a lot, cry a bit, and then help us close the festival with a group sing of Flow my Tears.
If you would like to perform a John Dowland song, please fill out the following form before October 23. We will be in touch by October 30 to let you know if we can offer you a place in the roster of performers.
Your ticket includes: 1 Drink Ticket + 10% discount off Rivoli meals purchased in the front room (restaurant) before the show. (Bring your own accompaniment, or be accompanied by our in-house Lachrimae Festival lutenists, Jonathan & Lucas!)
