Byrds of a Feather — La Grande Bande with The Mirandola Ensemble

  • Holy Cross Catholic Church 1621 University Avenue Northeast Minneapolis, MN, 55413 United States (map)

Music of the church and home from Renaissance England

Some of the most beautiful music from the English Renaissance period was written by William Byrd and his teacher, and business partner, Thomas Tallis. Both composers gained notoriety and prominent positions at Elizabeth I’s English court, including positions as organists at the Chapel Royal.

Join La Grande Bande, and special guest The Mirandola Ensemble, as we explore secular and sacred music by Byrd, Tallis, and their contemporaries in this delightful program featuring voices, recorders, dulcians, and organ performing Catholic and Anglican polyphony, secular madrigals, and dance music from Renaissance England.

Pre-concert talk begins at approximately 6:45 both nights.
