Saturday July 12th - Of Joys and Pleasing Pains
In the Italian and English Madrigals of the 16th and 17th Century, pleasure is often shortly followed by pain, but pain itself is often strangely pleasurable. Vivify explore this potent mixture, which inspired some of the age's finest music, notably from Italy's Claudio Monteverdi and England's John Wilbye. Join us as we journey from joys to pleasing pains and back again! Tickets: £10 or 4 for £32 available here (or search 'Of Joys and Pleasing Pains at https://www.trybooking.com/uk/book/search).
