This collaboration between a consort of viols and the Greek lyra takes John Dowland’s Lachrim? or Seaven Teares as its point of departure; together they paint a transverse and stateless picture of melancholy, although this is set against the joyful hope of a shining future that appears in these improvisations and timeless Anglo-Byzantine dances.

Sokratis Sinopoulos (lyra)
