John Dowland · Henry Purcell · Anonymous
From Sorrow to Peace is a reflective programme tracing the emotional arc of early vocal music — from longing and melancholy to reconciliation and serenity. Centred on the intimate dialogue between voice and lute, the concert explores the expressive language of late Renaissance and early Baroque song, where poetry and music are inseparably intertwined.
The programme moves between English lute song and Italian monody, revealing shared themes of love, fragility, devotion and transformation. Spoken reflections guide the audience through this journey, illuminating the rhetorical power and emotional immediacy of the repertoire.
Performed on period instruments within the resonant acoustic of St John the Baptist, Holland Road, the concert offered a chamber-scale meditation on loss and renewal — a musical passage from sorrow to peace.

From Sorrow to Peace
A Universal & Sacred Musical Journey through Love, Nature & the Divine
Ana Torbica, soprano
Michael Fields, lute & guitar
Predrag Gosta, narrator, baritone & harpsichord
Soprano Ana Torbica, lutenist Michael Fields, and narrator, baritone & harpsichord Predrag Gosta present ‘From Sorrow to Peace’, an intimate programme for voice, lute and theorbo, conceived as a continuous poetic and musical journey.
Centred on works by John Dowland, Henry Purcell, and Thomas Campion, the programme traces a path through love, longing, sorrow, and reconciliation, combining song with spoken text in a unified dramatic arc. Marking the 400th anniversary year of Dowland, his music – together with that of Purcell – forms the core of this reflective journey.
Developed in London in July 2025 and first performed with Sam Brown, the project has since received strong audience and critical response. A review by Smiljka Isaković praised Torbica’s ‘excellent intonation and beautiful, vibrato-free tone’, noting that she ‘breathed soul and character into each song’, while describing the programme as ‘thematically coherent’ and deeply engaging.
At its centre lies a personal narrative: following nearly a decade of artistic development in the United Kingdom and her acquisition of British citizenship, Torbica’s journey informs the programme’s exploration of identity, belonging, and transformation. This is reflected in the recurring motif of Purcell’s ‘Fairest Isle’, which symbolically anchors the programme’s central theme – the movement from sorrow towards inner peace.
The project has been presented internationally, including performances in London and at Sofia Baroque Arts Festival, as well as at the Belgrade Early Music Festival and the Baroque Early Days festival in Novi Sad and the duo studied lute songs with Dame Emma Kirkby. Upcoming appearances include the Kensington Olympia Festival of Music and the Arts on 16th May at 7pm and a lunchtime recital of highlights from the story at St George’s Hanover Square on 27th May.
Together, the artists offer a refined and immersive interpretation of early English repertoire, connecting historical performance with a direct and contemporary emotional resonance, and inviting the audience on a sacred journey reflection and renewal, where they can enter into a dialogue with themselves, with the composer and artist - in the light of the eternal.

Handel's Italian Journey: Italian Duets and Sonatas
Join New Trinity Baroque for an enchanting afternoon of music inspired by George Frideric Handel's travels through Italy, where the young composer encountered the artistic influences that would shape his future masterpieces.
Performed on period instruments by an outstanding international ensemble of early music specialists, this programme brings together some of the most beautiful vocal and instrumental music of the Italian Baroque. Alongside Handel's captivating Italian duets, audiences will discover works by Monteverdi, Legrenzi, Vivaldi and Falvetti – composers whose music formed part of the rich cultural landscape that Handel experienced during his years in Venice, Rome, Florence and Naples.
The concert features acclaimed baroque violinist Bojan Čičić, one of the UK's foremost specialists in historical performance and best known as leader of the Academy of Ancient Music, together with the talented young baroque violinist Ela Kodžas, baroque cellist Pablo Tejedor-Gutiérrez, who regularly performs alongside many of today's leading specialists in early music, and Predrag Gosta, founder and director of New Trinity Baroque, performing on harpsichord and organ.
Sopranos Silvija Radjen and Ana Torbica, both award-winning artists with extensive international careers, bring the expressive Italian duets of Handel, Monteverdi, Legrenzi and Falvetti vividly to life, revealing the beauty, drama and emotional depth of a repertoire that profoundly influenced the young Handel during his formative years in Italy.
The programme combines expressive Italian vocal duets with two remarkable instrumental works: Handel's Trio Sonata in G minor, reflecting the influence of the Italian style he absorbed during his travels, and Vivaldi's celebrated *La Follia*, one of the most dazzling and imaginative sets of variations of the Baroque era. Together, these works offer a vivid portrait of Italy's golden age and the extraordinary musical world that inspired one of history's greatest composers.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of Holy Trinity Church, Stroud, this concert offers a memorable celebration of the passion, elegance and brilliance of the Italian Baroque. Advance tickets are available through New Trinity Baroque's website, with tickets also available at the door on the day of the concert.
