Adelaide Baroque // The Mad Lover

Kate Macfarlane | Soprano

Hannah Lane | Baroque Harp

Nick Pollock | Theorbo

Kate Macfarlane and Ensemble 642 (Hannah Lane – baroque harp, Nicholas Pollock – lutes) return to Adelaide to explore the highly expressive mad songs of seventeenth century England. The program draws on the poetry, music and drama of this intriguing genre, interspersing contemporary readings and folk song to evoke the tumult of the human mind, and the dramatic intensity brought on by madness, longing and love.

Adelaide Baroque // Handel's Messiah

Handel’s music is eternal, optimistic, lively, and given fresh life in this invigorating and inspiring performance. What Christmas is complete without the joyous music of “For unto us a child is Born”, the Hallelujah Chorus, and the resounding final Amen? And no more fitting venue than the beautiful surrounds of St Peter’s Cathedral.
