In the Shadow of the Tower
Our cultural life has long been enriched and shaped by musicians who chose the UK as their home. Showcasing music by 17th-century refugee composers, including Nicholas Lanier, alongside lute songs by John Dowland and Henry Purcell, this event launches our new collaboration with One Song, working with musicians from Brighton’s settled refugee communities.
