EIF: Hopkinson Smith: Lute and Baroque Guitar
28 August 2009 at 11:00amThis concert features extrovert and poetic music from contrasting musical climates: the clearly structured lyricism and virtuosity of the high baroque in Central Europe, the improvisatory flair of French lute music, and the evocative tunes and driving rhythms of 17th century Spain.
'without doubt the finest lute player in the world today' (San Francisco Chronicle)
'the supreme ‘poet' of the lute.' (Gramophone)
Tickets for all EIF events – at all venues – are available at The Queen’s Hall Box Office for personal callers.
