Parthenia New York’s premiere viol consort will present Continental Connections a concert on Sunday January 26 @ 4:00 PM at The Church of Saint Luke in the Fields 487 Hudson Street in Manhattan.


The English viol consort music that the world knows and loves so much was influenced by many continental musical fashions. Throughout the 16th and early 17th century court composers and musicians traveling in the entourage of their respective courts interacted with their foreign counterparts. Some English and European composers traveled to look for work abroad to escape religious persecution at home. In this concert Parthenia will explore the musical connections that flowed in both directions—from European countries to England and back again. These explorations will include Franco-Flemish music in England at the court of Henry VIII Spanish influences at Mary Tudor’s court the love of Italian music in Elizabethan England and Danish and German connections with England when Anne of Denmark the wife of James I was the Queen.


Guest artist will be Caroline Nicolas treble viol. There will be a pre-concert talk @ 3:00 PM in the church’s Laughlin Hall by Yale University musicologist Cat Slowik.


Premium section tickets are $45. The rest will be “Pay What You Will” general admission (suggested $25) tickets available at https://parthenia.org/shop/continental-connections/.
