With our passionate, invited guest, tenor Jeffrey Thompson, we’ve devised a programme of French and English 17th century miniatures devoted to the expression of love’s pleasures and pains. Airs de cours by Michel Lambert, viol player, Sébastien Le Camus and André Campra express the agony and ecstasy of love while the wry songs of Henry Purcell and William Lawes poke fun at the absurdities of the passions of love! Your suffering will be sweetened with a bitter chocolate truffle!
