TOMB SONNETS

Parthenia Viols, Ryland Angel
with Jonathan Richards, actor

A program of poetry and music, inseparable as in the Elizabethan world, with poetry conceived as song and music taking form and phrasing from poetry.
Parthenia, joined by actor Jonathan Richards and vocalist Ryland Angel, will intersperse dramatic readings spanning seven centuries among Renaissance and contemporary music for viol consort and voice. The program will feature works by composer Martin Kennedy, including his song cycle, Tomb Sonnets, and the premiere of Kontakion for viol consort and tenor. Through music and verse, with poems by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), Dylan Thomas (1914-1953), and Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) and others, the enduring themes of longing, loss and memory will be explored.

Join the artists after the program for Cocktails from the Crypt.
