An in-depth exploration of the rarely-heard Italian four-part canzona, inspired by four-part French and Flemish chansons, which blossomed in print from 1582 to 1628 concurrently with increasing activity among violin makers and players in Milan, Brescia, and Cremona, and with the emerging "baroque" style.
The Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents chamber music from the 15th through 19th centuries on period instruments in cities all around the Salish Sea.
