DANCING TO THE POETRY OF MUSIC
Friday, July 29 at 7:30pm $15 Members $20 Public
Performed by The Venere Lute Quartet
& The New York Historical Dance Company
Come experience the sublime beauty and graceful majesty of Renaissance lute
music and dance performed by The Venere Lute Quartet and The New York
Historical Dance Company as they present a program from the age of
Shakespeare, Rubens, and Galileo. The program features works from Italian
Renaissance sources, and the Dutch Thysius manuscript which reflected
the international spirit of the time. A diversity of works to soothe and excite
the passions has been carefully selected. Vigorous galliards, saltarellos
and canarios rub shoulders with plangent pavans, ballets, and fantasies;
virtuoso pieces with fiery fingerings and fast footwork are cooled by
intimate, reflective music making. The elegant music performed by an
ensemble of four lutenists and graceful movement of the fully
costumed dancers will transform the audience to another time and place.
Participate in the spirit of the time as several simple Renaissance dances
will be taught at the end of the program.
