I am very honored to be joining the Gesualdo 6 again on tenor viol for this immersive concert experience! Daily performances at 4:00 and 6:00 from October 31 to November 2.
Witness this extraordinary theatrical concert, which celebrates the 400 year legacy of William Byrd, one of England’s finest composers, through an immersive performance by candlelight. Byrd was a recusant Catholic writing secret masses to be sung by worshippers during the Reformation. These masses were held in people’s homes with smuggled priests and hidden Catholic artifacts. Byrd’s courage in using his art to allow people the freedom of belief inspires us today, when three quarters of the world’s population still live in countries engaging in some form of religious intolerance. Help us celebrate Byrd’s activism by entering a living museum – a concert experience like never before.
