Description:	The Portrait Players are a UK-based trio bringing 17th and 18th century music to modern audiences. Described in its debut concert as ‘beguiling’, The Portrait Players is an all-female trio whose engaging programmes are inspired by historical characters. Featuring Claire Ward (soprano), Kristiina Watt (theorbo/lute) and Miriam Nohl (cello/viola da gamba), the trio, founded in January 2023, has quickly established a busy concert schedule across the UK. Graduates of the Royal Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Music, the three members of The Portrait Players each lead busy freelance lives and work with many of Europe’s leading orchestras and ensembles including The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, The Academy of Ancient Music, La Nuova Musica, The English Concert and The Monteverdi Choir. At this concert The Portrait Players will explore English repertoire inspired by Shakespeare and his contemporaries such as Dryden, Jonson and Sucking in their programme Ye Gentle Spirits. Including music by Lawes, Johnson, Eccles and Purcell.
