Tracing Melancholy: lute works from Dalza to Dowland

A unique event to mark the opening of the 2024 Being Human Festival.

Played for kings, queens, and artists such as Dürer himself, the lute has been celebrated as a vehicle for understanding human emotion and desire. Now, lutenist Rosemary Hodgson presents a unique performance of early lute music, inspired by the famous print Melencolia I in the Dürer exhibition at the University of Melbourne.

After the performance, enjoy the exhibition at your leisure or join curators Dr Matthew Champion and Associate Professor Jenny Spinks for pop-up talks in the gallery space to learn more about key collection items.
