Continental Connections
Watch an HD concert recording of “Continental Connections” from the comfort of your home!
Parthenia Viol Consort explores the musical connections that flowed from European countries to England in the 16th and 17th centuries. During this time, court composers and musicians, traveling in the entourage of their respective courts, interacted with their foreign counterparts. Some English and European composers traveled to look for work abroad to escape religious persecution at home. The concert highlights Franco-Flemish music in England at the court of Henry VIII, Spanish influences at Mary Tudor’s court, the love of Italian music in Elizabethan England, and Danish and German connections with England.
