Seicento proudly presents a special concert, "Rare Byrd: The Music of William Byrd," in honor of the 400th anniversary of the renowned English composer's music. Known as the father of the madrigal and one of the greatest composers of the Renaissance, William Byrd's choral works are truly exceptional. This captivating event will feature a delightful combination of choral music accompanied by a consort of five violas da gamba. Seicento will showcase Byrd's lesser-known compositions, including sacred verse anthems and secular consort songs, bringing to life the enchanting melodies that tell tales of courtly love, moral temptations, and the lament of misspent youth. Joining Seicento on stage will be five exceptionally talented gamba players: Hannah Robbins, Zoe Weiss, Sarah Graf, Sarah Biber, and Karl Reque. The viola da gamba, a beautifully crafted bowed stringed instrument from the 15th and 16th centuries, will be played with grace and elegance while seated and supported between the performer's legs. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience the rare and exquisite music of William Byrd. The concert will take place on Sunday, November 19th, 2023, at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Longmont, CO. Secure your tickets now for a memorable evening filled with timeless melodies. Ticket prices range from $15 to $50.
