Samrat Majumder brings Dowland, Bach and a premiere to Wigmore Hall

Samrat Majumder returns to the YCAT Wigmore Lunchtime Series on Tuesday 3 November with a programme connecting the guitar’s inherited lute repertoire to a new commission.

Dowland’s fancies and Bach’s Suite in E minor, BWV 996, sit alongside music from Scottish lute manuscripts and a work by YCAT Composer Fellow Arthur Keegan. YCAT identifies the Keegan commission as a world premiere.

Why put it in the diary?

For listeners interested in how guitarists build programmes, this recital offers an appealing combination: historical music associated with another plucked instrument, Scottish sources and a newly commissioned work. It is also an opportunity to hear a developing international solo career in a chamber-music setting.
