BRATTLEBORO — Boston-based Seven Times Salt joins Brattleboro Music Center regulars In Stile Moderno for what organizers are calling “a delightful new concert program,” Sunday, March 27, at 4 p.m.
“Fair Phoenix: Tales of the Winter Queen” focuses on the story of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia. The program will follow her life story with music from England on the occasion of her wedding in 1613, music “borne of religious anguish during the Thirty Years' War, and finally music of mourning and hope following Elizabeth's exile from Bohemia and eventual return home in the first years of the Restoration,” says the news release.
Performers include Agnes Coakley Cox, soprano; Corey Dalton Hart, tenor, recorder; Karen Burciaga, violin, tenor viol; Nathaniel Cox, cornetto, theorbo; Dan Meyers, recorder, flute, percussion; David H. Miller, bass viol; and Matthew Wright, lute, bandora.
