York Early Music Festival - Cubaroque

Tenor Nicholas Mulroy, lutenist Elizabeth Kenny and guitarist Toby Carr perform a selection from two songwriting traditions - European Renaissance and contemporary Latin America.

An unusual, possibly unique, pairing of two glorious songwriting traditions, bringing together perennial favourites Purcell and Monteverdi with more modern songs from across South America. Though separated by time and distance, they have in common a concern with love, loss, longing and the eternal elements of what it is to be alive, proving that what unites is more interesting than that which divides.

Tenor Nicholas Mulroy sings these songs at the York International Early Music Festival, alongside lutenist Elizabeth Kenny and guitarist Toby Carr.
