Courtiers & Costermongers: Consorts & Songs of 17th-c. London

Celebrate 20 years of Salt with a tour of 17th-century London’s taverns, markets and well-appointed homes. We’ll perform music for the consort-of-six, a favored ensemble during Elizabeth I’s reign. This program returns to our roots with virtuosic settings from Thomas Morley’s First Booke of Consort Lessons and the Cambridge Consort Books, a generous helping of country dance tunes, and our own arrangements of broadside ballads about epic battles, lovelorn farmers, and that most perennial of all subjects...beer.

Stay for an STS birthday party after the show!
