The Sounds of Elizabethan Garden
FRI & SAT, NOVEMBER 13 & 14, 2020 at 8 pm
Artistic Direction by Paul Jenkins & Alison Melville
We kick off the season strolling through the elaborate gardens of Elizabethan England. Places of refuge, pleasure, artfulness, and festivity, spectacular country estates were hosts to Queen Elizabeth I during her lavish summertime progresses, in which music, poetry, and dance featured extravagantly. Drawing inspiration from our popular album All in a Garden Green, join us for an evening of ballads, madrigals, and rollicking dance tunes by Dowland, Byrd, Ravenscroft, and their contemporaries.
The Toronto Consort lavishes luminous clarity, lightness and vitality on the music. Gramophone
