Sarah Small
Good Again?
Viola da gamba & Theorbo Recital
Daniel Murphy (theorbo)
Disillusioned by the lack of support for sustainable touring within the arts, along with concerns about the impact and cost of audience travel from rural areas to venues in cities, she’s taking matters into her own hands and cycling from venue to venue to share her programme ‘Good Again?’ with audiences far and wide.
Centred around the title work, Good Againe by Tobias Hume, this programme for viola da gamba features music expressing the feelings of grief, contemplation, and hope felt by many of us during these unstable times, along with tales from the road that remind us of the beauty in slow travel.
She joins Norfolk-based theorbo player Daniel Murphy for this performance.
Inspired by the elements, their programme will include Marais’ Les voix humaines and Muzettes, Forqueray’s La girouette, Hume’s A Question, An Answer, and Good Againe, and the specially commissioned Good Again?* for solo viola da gamba by composer Lillie Harris, that, across its three movements, seeks to answer its eponymous question: can we make things good, again?
Tickets on the door.
