New York’s premiere viol consort, Parthenia, presents American Garden/English Roses in collaboration with Great Britain’s Rose Consort of Viols in their U.S. debut.
The concert program will feature music for from 2 to 8 viols by Robert Parsons (c.1535–1572), John Jenkins (1592–1678), Philip Van Wilder (c.1500–53), William Byrd (c.1540–1623), Thomas Tallis (c.1505–85), Thomas Tomkins (1572–1656), Edward Blankes (1586–1638), Philippe de Monte (1521–1603), Alfonso Ferrabosco senior (1543-88), Alfonso Ferrabosco junior (c.1575–1628) and Henry Purcell (1659–95).
The Rose Consort of Viols takes its name from the celebrated family of viol makers, whose work spanned the growth and flowering of the English consort repertoire. With its unique blend of intimacy, intricacy, passion and flamboyance, this music ranges from Taverner and Byrd, to Lawes, Locke and Purcell, forming the basis of the Rose Consort’s programmes, which may also include singers, lutes and keyboard instruments. They perform extensively throughout Britain and Europe, appearing regularly on the BBC and in the major London concert halls, and have made a number of highly acclaimed recordings on the Amon Ra, Woodmansterne and Naxos labels. More about them here.
Parthenia has been hailed by the New Yorker as "one of the brightest lights in New York's early-music scene." It 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 including Music Before 1800, Maverick Concerts and the Regensburg Tage Alter Musik.
