Lute player Elizabeth Kenny with strings plucked, bowed and strummed

Lute player Elizabeth Kenny opens up a colourful selection of music from the inside - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.

Lutenist Elizabeth Kenny returns to Inside Music with a selection of musical surprises. She explores two plucked improvisations - one by Senegalese kora player Kadialy Kouyate and another by Renaissance composer Hieronymus Kapsberger, champions the versatility of the ukulele, and is reacquainted with a track that takes the guitar into apocalyptic territory.

Liz also shares a recording that finds tragedy in the bowing of a violin, and a string quartet that seems to sit between two worlds.

Plus, Liz celebrates musical storytelling, from a cantata lifting souls to the stars, to Stephen Sondheim鈥檚 use of a pit orchestra.

A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
