Described as “beguiling”, The Portrait Players formed at the end of 2022 for a concert of Handel’s Cantatas and German Arias. Featuring Claire Ward (soprano), Kristiina Watt (theorbo/lute) and Miriam Nohl (cello/viola da gamba), the trio brings 17th and 18th century repertoire to modern audiences with engaging programmes, informed by historical characters.
