Elizabeth Kenny CD and tour

Superstar theorbo player Liz Kenny has recorded my Extending from the inside (2014) for her new solo CD coming out on Linn Records this summer. She is doing a prestige tour to promote the disc taking in Cleveland Institute of Music, Aldeburgh Festival, Oxford Festival of the Arts and the Wigmore Hall.

Liz Kenny performs ‘Extending from the inside’ in Canada

Elizabeth Kenny (theorbo/lute player extraordinaire) played my ‘Extending from the inside’ in Victoria, Canada, this week. It was part of a concert presented as part of the Lute Society of America West Workshop 2017, staged by the Ancient Music Society of Victoria and the Lute Society of America. Liz was a member of the teaching faculty of the workshop.

Liz and I are exploring a potential collaboration with some other exciting musicians for 2018 so watch this space on that!

Come to Southampton's brand new night PLAYLIST which is curated by five professional musicians including me. This is the launch night at the wonderful 13th Century gatehouse, God's House Tower in central Southampton.

The headline performer, Elizabeth Kenny, is one of Europe's leading lute players. Her playing has been described as “incandescent” (Music and Vision), “radical” (The Independent on Sunday), “indecently beautiful” (Toronto Post). Liz's programme will include my 'Extending from the inside', which I wrote for her in 2014. She is a brilliant and spell binding musician, not to be missed.

Also on the bill are the brilliant alternative folk trio Tenderlore and the fabulous Nicola Heinrich will perform music for solo 'cello.
