2022 Silbiger Concert – Virtual Premiere
Long & Away presents a brand new program for voices and viols celebrating the many delights of spring! This tour of 16th-c. Europe features works by Lassus, Senfl, Marenzio and others that explore age old themes of love, nature, dancing, and drinking. You’ll hear morning birdsong, nighttime meditations, rarefied musings on love, and rustic songs in praise of wine. Sparkling French and Italian dance tunes round out the evening. This program is supported by the Gian Lyman Silbiger grant from the Viola da Gamba Society – New England.
Watch this year’s Silbiger concert “So Trinken Wir Alle” on Youtube! It is free to watch, with donations encouraged to support the musicians. Details and program notes at www.longandaway.com.
