Paradise Lost

  • Holywell Music Room Oxford OX1 3SD UK (map)

This live, in-person concert is exclusively for Friends of Fretwork.
To attend, sign up as a Friend here:

The programme is a combination of words and music centred on the seven Sinfonias of Leonora Duarte. She is the only female to have written viol consort music: she lived in Antwerp in the middle of the 17th century where her family were jewellery merchants. Our programme traces the connections between the Duarte family and scientific, political, intellectual & literary figures in their circle including Milton and Spinoza. The programme will include music by John Milton (senior), Matthew Locke, Henri Dumont & Leonora Duarte; and readings from Milton’s Paradise Lost and extracts from Spinoza’s writing
