Music
Mad Lover
A nostalgic, underground baroque violin night.
Violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and lutenist Thomas Dunford explore the rich musical landscape of 17th-century England, a time when Italian brilliance influenced English composition. Through works by Nicola Matteis, Henry Purcell, and John Eccles, the programme evokes the figure of a lovestruck 'Mad Lover' at the cosmopolitan court of Charles II. The performance delves into themes of passion, virtuosity, and heartbreak, unfolding a world of longing and desire that remains emotionally resonant today.
