An intimate musical journey that explores melancholia, creativity, and the connection between mind, body, and sound.

Magpie Duo, Jess Bull Anderson (sackbut) and Felix Collins (lute), present Dowlands Dream, blending live early music with contemporary compositions, art, and spoken word.

Marking 400 years since Dowland’s death, this performance explores the emotional landscapes of melancholy and creativity.

The duo also collaborate with composer Ilayda Oguz to create ‘dreamsongs’, new works that immerse audiences in subconscious soundscapes, inviting reflection on mental and emotional wellbeing.

Jess Bull Anderson and Felix Collins are Royal College of Music students dedicated to uncovering underrepresented sound worlds, combining early music with innovative, wellbeing-focused storytelling.
