BMG Federation members are warmly invited to come and help us celebrate 400 years of the musical legacy of John Dowland (1563–1626), this July. We have prepared a four-day music festival in the historic city of Norwich with concerts by top musicians, talks, masterclasses, and market stalls.
Why not stay a bit longer and make a real holiday of it? There’s lots for you (or your significant other) to see and do in Norwich, which in Dowland’s day was England’s second city, with a church for every week of the year and a pub for every day—plus two cathedrals, a castle, an art gallery, pictureque streets, and plenty more. And if that isn’t enough Cambridge is only a train ride away, with further delights.
Concerts from Nigel North – Bor Zuljan – Matt Wadsworth – Augustin Cormwall-Irving -Emma-Lisa Roux – Fretwork viol quintet - Dowland’s Foundry vocal quartet - Chordophony lute quartet – Fleet Street Revival broken consort – Matthew Brown harpsichordist and the Netherlands Lute Society 10-piece lute band
