Hathor Consort dir. Romina Lischka
Seven Tears
In 1604, the English composer John Dowland published his collection Lachrimae. Its first seven pieces, inspired by the theme of ‘tears’, all start with the same motif. Benjamin Britten loved Dowland’s music very much, and it was the direct inspiration for his own Lachrymae in 1951.
Annelies Van Parys also has taken inspiration from Dowland, and has written Six Interludes especially for the Hathor Consort (five violas da gamba and lute). They are reflections on Lachrimae, or Seven Tears and they also are interwoven into a single organic whole. Let Dowland and Van Parys move you as they shed some surprising new light on each other’s sonic worlds.

Performers
Hathor Consort
Hathor Consort was founded in 2012 by Romina Lischka, named after Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of music, love, and connection. True to its namesake, the ensemble moves along two intertwining streams: a deep devotion to early music and a bold vision of bridging musical cultures across time and geography. These dual threads converge in interdisciplinary performances where sound and image, tradition and innovation meet.
Romina Lischka
Romina Lischka bridges the boundaries between cultures and genres by forging her own artistic language in which classical, contemporary and musical traditions from around the world intersect. Since 2007, her concerts have taken her to renowned festivals and concert halls in Europe, Russia, Asia, Canada and North and South America. In addition to her activities as a viol player, she studied North Indian classical singing (dhrupad) in Rotterdam and in Delhi and Pune (India).
