Of Love and Lamentation

Broadcasting Tuesday June 18th at 2pm

The Hugh Lane Concert series continues with a concert entitled Of Love and Lamentation from Irish Mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty and historical harpist Siobhán Armstrong on the Italian baroque triple harp. The concert features compositions by John Dowland, Henry Purcell, Giovanni Battista Draghi, Sylvius Leopold Weiss and Barbara Strozzi.

In this special programme we hear the full concert interspersed with discussion around the careers of the musicians as well as the work of the composers and the access to historical musical compositions that is afforded to modern day scholars. We also hear from audience members on their impressions of the concert.
