Semper Dowland, semper dolens. Indeed, the melancholy strain is never far from our view of this world. This program reveals the flowering of Consort and Solo songs from the Elizabethan period. Emma Kirkby writes: ‘It speaks of anguish, delight and ineffable beauty, allowing the singer freedom to embody thoughts and emotions which listeners have recognized and shared ever since! Is it any wonder that returning to Dowland always feels like coming home?’

On this evening, the Toronto Consort introduces new young singers to our audience in the form of a ‘Dowland Collective’ guided by Emma Kirkby and Daniel Taylor. Instruments and voices come together in a concert that celebrates the Renaissance period, well-known for its lavish festivities with a love of occasion, featuring composers John Dowland, Tobias Hume, William Lawes, and Henry Purcell.
