About this Event

Inspired by the 17th-century tune known by the name ‘Browning, Madame’ or ‘The Leaves be Green,’ Repast creates an ode to springtime set in the lush, verdant countryside. From vivid scenes of county fairs to quiet woodland reflections, Her Leaves be Green revels in the wonders of nature as spring unfolds, evoking a sound world filled with birdsong, shepherds, and country dances. With a visual backdrop of pastoral watercolors from 17th-century Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch, Repast invites you to wander through the ‘Woods so Wild’ with music by Ravenscroft, Byrd, Farnaby, Woodcock, and Dowland. With lutenist Adam Cockerham.
