Spring into Early Music with the Champlain Consort. Celebrate the arrival of spring with an enchanting
program of Medieval and Renaissance music performed on period instruments by the Champlain Consort. Tunes ranging from lovelorn madrigals to lively dances spring to life through the ensemble's recorders, sackbuts, crumhorns, and percussion. The program features music by John Dowland, Thomas Weelkes, and Maddalena Casulana (1544–1590) who is believed to be the first woman composer to have her music published under her own name during her lifetime. This is a free concert. Contributions to Cathedral Arts are always gratefully accepted.
