[Charles Daniels, tenor]
At the dawn of the 17th century, the cutting edge of English music featured music for viols and voice, expertly performed in this captivating recital by Les Voix humaines and the inimitable Charles Daniels. Together, they’ll explore the changing face of English music in a tumultuous century: from the virtuosic works of Simpson and Lawes to the new musical dream of Henry Purcell. Perchance to Dreame: The Golden Age of English Music, will have one performance each at Christ Church Cathedral and Kay Meek Centre.
