Musicke Antiqua, an early music ensemble, will present a free concert at Pack Memorial Library, on Tuesday, May 26 at 3pm.
The concert will feature music from the 13th though the 20th century, covering European composers from Poland to Spain. The Shakespeare Suite featuring music the poet used in his comedies, and a Latin Dance Suite with a saucy Tango are of particular note. The program will end with a rendition of Irvin Berlin’s first big hit, Alexander’s Ragtime Band.
The consort performs music primarily from the Medieval and Renaissance periods. They perform in costume, on replicas of a wide variety of early music instruments, including recorders, double reed instruments, strings and percussion. This concert is free and everyone is invited.
