Hopkinson Smith, lute

The great American lutenist Hopkinson Smith comes to Calderwood Hall to celebrate the life and music of John Dowland, the great Elizabethan songwriter and performer. This concert, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Dowland’s death in 1626, will be built around lute transcriptions of Dowland’s celebrated “Lachrimae Pavanes,” a set of exquisite variations on his own song, “Flow My Tears,” one of the supreme examples of glorious Tudor musical melancholy. Don’t miss this special event.
