As part of the first concert in our Resounding Shores series, the Academy Baroque Soloists performed Purcell's Come, ye sons of art with conductor Eamonn Dougan. Recorded live in the Duke’s Hall, Royal Academy of Music, London, on 21 January 2024.

Resounding Shores is a new Sunday concert series at the Academy exploring English masterpieces from the late Elizabethan era to the end of the 17th century. In particular, it presents a chance to experience the extraordinary range and depth of expression of Henry Purcell, and to re-evaluate his work alongside the forebears and contemporaries he is known to have cherished such as Byrd, Dowland, Gibbons, Lawes, Jenkins, Locke and Blow.
