In the late 16th and early 17th century, music was in transition from the polyphony of the high renaissance to the new harmonies of the early baroque. Enjoy a concert of virtuosic rarely heard consort music drawn from this repertoire, enhanced by the unique sound created by the varied instruments and voice of a mixed consort. Music by Monteverdi, di Lasso, Merula, Kapsberger, Piccinini, Bassano, Clemens non papa, and more.

The Abella Harp Consort is a consort of mixed instruments consisting of widely acclaimed musicians lutenist William Simms and soprano Margaret Carpenter-Haigh, joined by some of the most accomplished emerging musicians of our time: Liv Castor, harp; Sarah Shodja, recorders; and Adrienne Hyde, viola da gamba.
