Renaissance & Baroque Gems

Renaissance and Baroque Gems is a historically informed performance exploring an anthology of compositions from the High Renaissance to the Baroque periods. The experience is an exposition of compositions by celebrated and prominent figures such as Tallis, Byrd, Morley, Dowland, Purcell and Handel. Bask in the rich tones, shifts in rhythm and progression of melodic lines presented through acapella, vocal and period instruments, including the Renaissance Lute, Baroque Violin, Viola da gamba, Guitar and Spinet. Within the soundscapes of St. Jo’s Chapel, this instalment of Renaissance and Baroque Gems is for lovers of the art and its representations of humanity, religion, and spirituality.
