Parthenia, 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.
