Guest performers include violinist Matthew Greco, lutenist Josep Martí Duran, and tenor Brenton Spiteri.

Works by the great Henry Purcell and John Dowland are coupled with compositions by lesser-known but equally skilled composers such as Matthew Locke, John Playford, John Jenkins and Christopher Gibbons.

DRAWING ROOM SERIES

The inaugural Drawing Room Series takes audiences into the living room spaces of some of the Surf Coast’s most exquisite homes. Experience this event at Waverley House, a spectacular house in Lorne with rich historical significance.

Comprising three of the top graduates of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague reunited after years of playing experience with the finest international ensembles and artists, Latitude 37represent a new generation of period instrumentalists. Sharing a unified interest in cultivating and communicating their ancient art for the modern era, this trio will perform a very special concert at the newly-restored Waverley House.

Imagine ‘pop music’ of the 17th Century, from the killer hooks to the musical showpieces, transferred to the 21st Century, and you’ll have some idea of what’s in store. This is about as sexy as Baroque can be.
