Music for a While, de Purcell à la Taverne

La Cetra d’Orfeo invites you to an exceptional concert celebrating the popular and scholarly repertoires of 16th- and 17th-century England.

Let yourself be carried away on a musical journey where baroque airs, ballad tunes and tavern songs meet, in a subtle blend of refinement, melancholy and revelry.

From Purcell to Playford, from Dowland to O’Carolan, the musicians of La Cetra d’Orfeo bring out all the melodic richness and vibrant expressiveness of this music, which unites the lyricism of the salons with the vitality of the inns.
