August 10 — SONNAMBULA
Floregium Musicum: Musical Flowers of the Renaissance and Baroque
SONNAMBULA: FLORILEGIUM MUSICUM: MUSICAL FLOWERS OF THE RENAISSANCE AND BAROQUE - AUGUST 10
SONNAMBULA is a historically informed ensemble that brings to light unknown music for early instruments.
Renaissance theorist Marchetto da Padua claimed his music treatise Pomerium (“The Fruit Tree,” late 14th century) contained the “flowers and fruits” of the art of music. The sensuousness of a floral bouquet similarly inspired Pierre Phalèse to publish a collection of diverse musical gems in Antwerp in 1602, which he titled the Florilegium sacrarum cantionum. Today’s program explores Renaissance and Baroque music with a relationship to nature, and the composers who sought flora’s ultimate allegorical expression: in sound.
SONNAMBULA: Jude Ziliak, violin, James Kennerley, harpsichord, Elizabeth Weinfield, viola da gamba
RAIN OR SHINE: In case of inclement weather, the performance will move indoors to the Community Room of the Cola Center at Untermyer Park and Gardens. All sales final.
Sunday, August 10, at 5:00 PM
Concert Tickets: $35 plus Eventbrite Fees
