When cupid’s arrow strikes, it hits us all differently.

Helen Charlston stars in this programme exploring the highs and lows of love, in music by Henry Purcell and his contemporaries.

Starting in a world of restless, exciting passion, we move through the intense commitment of parenthood and faith, to love’s sickness and fate’s inescapable grasp. Finally, music returns victorious as the ultimate language for all things amorous.
