In its continued <em>Musick’s Monument</em> series, Fretwork surveys English consort music from Cornysh to Purcell across three seasons. Alongside pieces by the Elizabethan master Dowland is a 2004 work by Adrian Williams that reflects on his pavans.</p><p class="website" ><a itemprop="url" target="_blank" href="https://wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on/fretwork-202010141930">Wigmore Hall Website</a></p><div style="clear:both"></div></div></div>'); ){kind=link}
