Miller's Residence are proud to host, Sweet, Stay a While, a Renaissance evening of lute and voice. The drawing room of Miller’s Residence will be transformed into an intimate venue lit by candlelight, reminiscent of a bygone era.

Organised and promoted by Joseph Denby, the night will present the vocal talents of CN Lester and accompanying on lute, Toby Carr. Lester and Carr will be playing a selection of works by Dowland, Copraio, Henry Lawes, Coleman, Lanier and Johnson on the evening.

CN Lester was born in Hong Kong in 1984, and is a devoted Londoner. S/he studied music at King’s College London and Goldsmiths College, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Music Psychology at Trinity Laban under the supervision of Jonathan Clark. In addition to alternative music, CN performs as a mezzo-soprano specialising in castrati roles and as a classical pianist, studying with Alison Wells and Helen Leek respectively. 

“The lute, song subject matter, delicacy of performance and word colour lend themselves to the privy chambers and secluded candlelit nooks shrouded in long shadows,” notes Joseph Denby. “The closeness and intimacy of Miller's as a place of contemporary authentic equivalent to privy chambers provides a link between the courtly, formal Classical tradition.”

The event will take place at 7.30pm on Thursday 13th May. Tickets are £22.50 per person.
