An Elizabethan Christmas
Following a long-treasured tradition of music for Christmas, the viols of Parthenia present a sparkling array of songs, dances and carols from Elizabethan England. Along with music by Thomas Morley, Anthony Holborne, Thomas Ravenscroft, Dr. John Bull and Tobias Hume, this concert features a wide variety of music by the celebrated master composer of England’s Golden Age, William Byrd.
Guest artist: Elisa Sutherland, mezzo-soprano

Continental Connections
The English viol consort music that we know and love so much was influenced by many continental musical fashions. Throughout the 16th and early 17th century, 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. In this workshop we will explore the musical connections that flowed in both directions—from European countries to England and back again. These explorations will include 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 when Anne of Denmark, the wife of James I, was the Queen.
Guest artist: Caroline Nicolas, treble viol

Les Amours de Mai
Our spring concert features French Renaissance songs and dances marked by grace, balance and a wonderful sense of lightness, especially the song settings of poetry of Pierre de Ronsard by such composers as Claude le Jeune, Guillaume Costeley, Claude Goudimel, Eustache du Caurroy and others.
Parthenia, performing on a consort of viols in the style of those used in the 16th century, is joined by soprano Sherezade Panthaki and Renaissance lutenist Christopher Morrongiello.
