The Round Table of Sound — 400th Anniversary of J. Dowland’s Death —
For Four Voices and Lute
2026/11/22(su.) 14:00 Starting
Imai Hall, Bible Auditorium （Tokyo）

The year 2026 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of John Dowland (c. 1563–1626), a leading English musician and lute player. The numerous works he left behind—including solo pieces and lute songs—continue to captivate audiences today, transcending both time and place.
While lute songs are often performed by a single singer accompanied by a lute, this concert will feature four singers and one lute, following the layout of period sheet music (in which each part is arranged so that it can be read from all four sides).
Dowland, who spent many years active on the European continent and likely encountered local madrigals there, left behind numerous masterpieces for his instrument, the lute, and for the voice. Perhaps close friends would gather, surround the sheet music, and share the joy of making music together.
We hope you will enjoy this all-Dowland program while feeling a sense of nostalgia for the people and musical traditions of 400 years ago.
