Bellingham Music Club and Salish Sea Early Music Festival join forces to present a one hour-long program of canzonas – instrumental pieces from Italy inspired by French and Flemish chansons. Salish Sea Early Music Festival artistic director and Renaissance flutist Jeffrey Cohan leads a spectacular ensemble that performs a program of transitional late Renaissance/early Baroque chamber music featuring works by Girolamo Frescobaldi, Giovanni Battista Buonamente, Giovanni Paolo Cima, and others.
This event is free and open the public. A spring tea reception follows the program. This hour-long performance is a free preview of BMC Night Beat's full-length program that takes place the following evening on June 6th.
