Montreal ensemble La Nef is joined by tenor Michael Slattery for Dowland in Dublin: An Evening of Lute Songs in an Irish Pub. Saturday,October 11 at 5:00 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (914 E Knapp St). Was England’s first great composer actually Irish? This Canadian ensemble and American tenor Michael Slattery make their case for this possibility in a charming program highlighting Dowland’s light-hearted side, with Renaissance lute, cittern, and gamba joined by the shrutti-box, providing a decidedly Celtic flavor to the famous lute songs.
