Sarasa is delighted to welcome American countertenor sensation, Christopher Lowrey, and the delightful lutenist Michael Leopold to portray an especially intimate and integral account of music performed for famous monarchs in history in our January set of concerts, entitled “Music Fit for a King (or Queen)”. It will be an opportunity to discover pieces dedicated to those royal patrons who were also avid instrumentalists and who, through their influential musical circles, contributed considerably to the 17th- and 18th-century sonata repertoire. A noble way to warm up on a cold winter’s evening!


The programs will include works by Purcell, de Visée, Lanzetti, Scarlatti, Händel, Porpora, Kapsberger and Buxtehude, performed on period instruments.


Christopher Lowrey, countertenor; Michael Leopold, theorbo & Baroque guitar Timothy Merton, cello; Jennifer Morsches, cello & piccolo cello.
