INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed viol consort Fretwork, with lutenist Elizabeth Kenny, pay tribute to John Dowland

at Warwick's St Mary's on Tuesday January 22.

All the music in the concert will be by Dowland who was born in London in 1563 - a year before Shakespeare who he outlived by a further ten. In his time the universal appeal of his music, as composer and lutenist, made him far better known throughout Europe than the Bard.

The Leamington Music winter season of 23 concerts continues on Friday January 25 when the Carducci String Quartet perform at the Pump Rooms in Leamington, followed by the Skampa Quartet from the Czech Republic in February and the Brentano from USA in March.
