Baltimore Consort: The Food of Love

Danielle Svonavec, soprano

The “rambunctious sextet” (The Washington Post), known for their lively renditions of Renaissance tunes, presents a brand new program featuring songs and consort music from the plays of William Shakespeare. The Baltimore Consort instrumentalists play sparkling arrangements of Shakespeare’s tunes on lute, cittern, viols, and flute. Ethereal soprano Danielle Svonavec performs some of the greatest hits from the Bard’s songbook, including It was a Lover and his Lass and Full Fathom Five.

Advance ticket sales will be charged a $5 fee per order.

About Baltimore Consort

Founded in 1980 to perform the instrumental music of Shakespeare’s time, the Baltimore Consort has explored early English, Scottish, and French popular music, focusing on the relationship between folk and art song and dance. Their interest in early music of English/Scottish heritage has also led them to delve into the rich trove of traditional music preserved in North America. Recordings on the Dorian label have earned them recognition as Top Classical-Crossover Artist of the Year (Billboard), as well as rave reviews elsewhere.
