Soprano Ruby Hughes and lutenist Jonas Nordberg head to late Renaissance and Baroque England, performing songs by John Dowland, Henry Purcell, and Robert Johnson.

Their shared love of the quiet and intimate sound world of music from the Elizabethan age brought Ruby Hughes and Jonas Nordberg together. They have recorded an album in that spirit, to be released by the BIS label in the first weeks of 2026, with the concert program drawn from this recording. Also featured are songs by the contemporary composers Errollyn Wallen and Cheryl Frances-Hoad, written to excerpts from Shakespeare’s plays.

Duration approx. one hour, without interval.
