Event Information
Echoes of the Spanish Baroque
The Lowe Ensemble, a baroque music group comprised of five siblings, alongside Danny Murphy at the theorbo, present ‘Echoes of the Spanish Baroque’, a journey through seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Spanish music, and its influence across Europe.
Beginning in the glittering court of Louis XIV in France, then moving through Italy and finally returning to the Iberian Peninsula, this programme explores how Spanish styles and sensibilities resonated throughout Europe. The programme brings together a wide palette of vocal and instrumental works—some newly adapted for the ensemble—illustrating the dialogue between courtly refinement, earthy dances and sacred reflection.
