Described in their debut concert as ‘beguiling’, The Portrait Players are 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.
The Portrait Players
In this programme, The Portrait Players shine a light on the female writers of 17th century Paris, who inspired the composers, as well as the actresses in London who brought Purcell’s theatre songs to life.
