Add to my Calendar 04-09-2022 15:30 04-09-2022 17:30 36 Division-Musick …...these solos and duos are performed with the heavenly mixture of aplomb and breeziness that is such a trademark of these musicians. The arrangements are intelligent, the playing crisp and inventive and it is difficult not to be swept away by the seductive charm of their sound. The Viol Pellingmans’ Saraband are one of very few duos worldwide who are showcasing the unique sonorities of the lute with the viol, close cousins in the renaissance instrumental family tree. Their musical partnership goes back 30 years and over that time they’ve developed a keen understanding of how their instruments combine. With sensitivity and quiet virtuosity they present a varied programme including 16th and 17th century divisions upon ground basses, arrangements of vocal music and popular tunes which all create a vivid glimpse of how music was enjoyed in the home during the Tudor and Stuart periods.
