Mr. Jones & the Engines of Destruction

This Easy & Agreeable Instrument: the English Guittar in duet, song, and chamber music

In 1605 famed English architect Inigo Jones brought the newly-developed theorbo from Italy into England. At Dover, customs impounded the instrument fearing it was some engine from the popish lands brought to destroy the king. This group emphasizes fun, lascivious, nerdy, and dramatic programs and features rarely heard ensembles for lutes, theorbos, and guitars.
