The Food of Love: Songs, Dances, and Fancies for Shakespeare
This “rambunctious sextet” (Washington Post) presents the New York premiere of a new program featuring their core repertory—music of the Elizabethan era—along with songs and consort music from Shakespeare’s plays. The ethereal soprano Danielle Svonavec performs some of the greatest music from the Bard’s songbook, including “It Was a Lover and his Lass” (As You Like It), “Where the Bee Sucks” (The Tempest), “King of Denmark’s Galliard” (Hamlet), and “The Willow Song” (Othello). The group’s instrumentalists play Renaissance arrangements of dances and consort music related to the plays on lute, cittern, viols, and flute.
$40 ($20 student rate) at 1pm and 3pm on Sunday, April 17. For tickets please visit www.metmuseum.org/cloisters.
