CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT SAT. NOV. 16, 2024
An Elizabethan Garland: Courtly Ayres and Dances
Join Consortium for a courtly evening of ayres and dance music from the time of Queen Elizabeth I and William Shakespeare! Recorder player Rob Van Wyck, violinist Madonna Lee, harpsichordist Elizabeth Ganiatsos, and soprano Krista Hansen perform works by Thomas Morley, the foremost composer of secular music of that age, the great William Byrd, renowned lutenist John Dowland, noted for his melancholy musical moods, and Thomas Campion, poet, composer and physician.
Delight in lively country dance tunes published in John Playford‘s popular instructive manual “The English Dancing Master”. which was republished and revised a great many times. The Queen, great patron of the arts, skilled musician, and spirited dancer, was famous for her lavish entertainments. Our musicians, performing in striking Elizabethan costumes, will recreate something of the spirit of that age!
This concert is sponsored by Elizabeth Ganiatsos
