The Cries of London

Throughout the ages, English musical culture has stood apart from that of the European continent, and the Elizabethan Consort Song is perhaps the most typically “English” musical expression of its time. Joined once again by acclaimed mezzo-soprano Meg Bragle, Filament explores a varied selection of rarely heard songs by William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons alongside vocal and instrumental works of their contemporaries. Don’t miss this intimate program examining love, nature, and the poetry of urban life at the dawn of the modern world.
