Runnymede Summer Concert Series - Brett Rutherford and Simon Martyn-Ellis

  • Runnymede House Hobart (map)

Spend a summer late afternoon with us at the stunning Runnymede and experience this special, short concert taking place in Runnymede's Music Room with Brett Rutherford and Simon Martyn-Ellis playing Viola de Gamba and Theorbo featuring the music of Marin Marais.

Marin Marais stands as a hidden gem in the world of Baroque music. This French composer from the court of Louis XIV left a mark on the musical landscape of the late 17th and early 18th centuries influencing generations of musicians and composers. His music, particularly for the viola da gamba, pushed the boundaries of what was possible on the instrument. He was the subject of the 1991 French film Tous les Matins du Monde which showed Marin Marais looking back on his young life when he was a student of the viol.
