Saturday, July 10 Parthenia with Julianne Baird Presented in partnership with Early Music Now
6:30 pm: Pre-concert lecture: “A Tale of Two
Dynasties”
John W. Barker, Professor Emeritus of History, University
of Wisconsin-Madison
This lecture surveys the cumulative achievements by
the Plantagenet and Tudor monarchs in taking key steps toward creating
the political, institutional, and cultural dimensions that served to
generate England as we know it. Special attention is given to the
glorious and distinctly English riches of 12th- to 16th-century musical
development to be sampled throughout the Festival.
7:30 pm: Performance: A Tudor Songbook
Parthenia and virtuoso soprano Julianne Baird join
forces for an evening of spirited English music for viols and voice,
featuring songs, dance suites, and fantasias from early Tudor through
Elizabethan days. Joining them is MEMF Co-Artistic Director Cheryl
Bensman-Rowe, soprano.

Parthenia, hailed by
the New Yorker as "one of the brightest lights in New York's early-music scene," is a dynamic ensemble exploring the extraordinary repertory for viols from Tudor England to the court of Versailles and
beyond. Known for its remarkable sense of ensemble, Parthenia is
presented in concerts across America, and produces its own lively and
distinguished concert series at Corpus Christi Church in New York City,
collaborating regularly with the world's foremost early music
specialists and has been featured on radio and television and in
prestigious festivals and series as wide-ranging as Music Before 1800,
Maverick Concerts and the Regensburg Tage Alter Musik.
