TOMB SONNETS: Music and Poetry by Candlelight

Through music and verse, with poems by Emily Dickinson, Dylan Thomas, and Francesco Petrarca and others, Parthenia presents TOMB SONNETS: Music and Poetry by Candlelight where the enduring themes of longing, loss and memory are explored. The program features works by composer Martin Kennedy, including his song cycle, Tomb Sonnets, and the premiere of Kontakion for viol consort and tenor. Parthenia, joined by actor Jonathan Richards and vocalist Ryland Angel, intersperses dramatic readings spanning seven centuries among Renaissance and contemporary music for viol consort and voice.
