ARTS ON ALEXANDER PRESENTS

THE GESUALDO SIX: ENGLISH MOTETS

November 12 at 7:30 p.m. | Redeemer Presbyterian Church

English Motets: music of William Bryd, John Sheppard, Thomas Tallis, Thomas Weelkes, and others!

During the Renaissance, musical composition flourished, but it was a time of great change, fueled by religious division. Arts on Alexander presents The Gesualdo Six in a program that traces music written by some of the English Renaissance masters over a period of two hundred years, encompassing florid medieval-sounding works by Sheppard and Forest, intricately woven polyphonic works by Tallis and Byrd, and the beautiful simplicity of Tomkins and White. 

There will be a complimentary wine reception following the concert.

Friday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m.
