From Court to tavern, music of merriment and majesty

The Gregory Walkers with recorder player Kate Hearne explore the vibrant dance music of Renaissance Europe. Dowland’s courtly pavans and galliards meet lively canarios, chaconnes and passamezzos, performed on period instruments with flair and warmth in celebration of Dowland’s 400th anniversary.


Admission: €12

12.30 CRESPO MIDDAY SERIES This series is a recent to the Festival and is a chance to listen to some of the lesser known works of chamber and solo music. These concerts are less than an hour, and take place in the beautiful Marino Church, the former home for the Methodists. This is music for listeners who like to wander off the beaten track. These concerts are generously supported by the Crespo Foundation, and are named after the late Ulrike Crespo, a great friend and donor to the Festival.

All works performed by The Gregory Walkers with Kate Hearne
