The Festival Consort presents their concert "Renaissance Glory" in Petaluma
The Festival Consort has been performing its Christmas concert "Renaissance Glory" for the past twelve years to sold out audiences in venues in Sonoma County. This year their first concert will be at the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum at 20 Fourth Street, Petaluma on Sunday, December 7 at 3:00.
The Festival Consort has been delighting audiences for thirty eight years with their concerts of medieval and renaissance music. They have toured the United States, played at renaissance fairs, and have entertained at weddings and banquets throughout the Bay Area.
The group's six performers -- two vocalists and four instrumentalists -- perform on authentic replicas of early instruments.
Well known vocalists -- soprano Carol Menke and countertenor Christopher Fritzsche, join instrumentalists David Hogan Smith, Joanna Bramel Young, Alan Paul and Robert Cronin in a concert of traditional European Christmas carols and works by European composers from the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries.
Composers include Praetorius, Hassler, Agazzari, Orlando di Lasso and Constantini.
Consorts of carefully matched recorders, crumhorns, shawms, and schreyerpfeifen (all tuned and adjusted by director David Hogan Smith), also include douçain, curtal (renaissance bassoon), guitar and sackbut.
The concert will be repeated in Santa Rosa at the Church of the Incarnation on Sunday, January 4 at 4:00.
