When Music & Sweet Poetry Agree

Parthnia, A Consort of Viols:
Beverly Au, Lawrence Lipnik, Rosamund Morley, and Lisa Terry
with actor Paul Hecht
and mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek

In honor of Shakespeare’s birthday, the Forum celebrates the joyous links between English Renaissance poetry and music, with readings from Shakespeare and Donne by actor Paul Hecht, songs by mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, and viol music by Parthenia. Hailed by The New Yorker as “one of the brightest lights in New York’s early-music scene,” Parthenia presents this program of fantasias, consort songs, dances, and instrumental airs by William Byrd, Anthony Holborne, John Dowland, Tobias Hume, and Thomas Morley.
