About this Event

An evening of Renaissance music about love's joys and tribulations. As the final program in Tactus SF's Tenth Anniversary season, the Bay Area choir presents secular songs ranging from the pastoral madrigals to earthy warnings about the dangers of love; from John Dowland's sweet and bluesy love songs to Josquin's chirpy homage to the cricket who "sings just for the love of it." The hour-long program, conducted by Music Director Sven Edward Olbash, features performances in Italian and German by the full 20-voice a capella choir as well as small-group renditions of Spanish and English love songs.

This concert is part of the San Francisco Early Music Society's biennial Berkeley Early Music Festival and Exhibition. And stay for the reception after each concert to meet the singers!
