LANCASTER, Pa.- Trefoil – Early Music for Voice, Lute and Harp, will present a concert as part of Franklin & Marshall Sound Horizons Concert Series on Saturday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. in the Barshinger Center for Musical Arts.
The concert is titled "In the Chamber of the Harpers: Late Medieval Music from the Iberian Peninsula." Ticket prices for Sound Horizons are $10 for the general public, $5 for college employees, and $1 for students and can be purchased at the box office located in the Roschel Performing Arts Center. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 358-4858 or visiting the online box office at www.fandm.edu/boxoffice.xml. The box office in the lower lobby of the Barshinger Center is open one hour before performance times. In the concert, Trefoil embarks on the pilgrim route to Compostela to sample high culture in the late medieval courts and cathedrals of northern Spain and southern France. The simple, troubadour-influenced style of the later 13th century shares billing with the sophisticated polyphony of the 14th-century Mass of Barcelona and ars subtilior songs heard in Charles and Eleanor of Castile's "chamber of the harpers." The Philadelphia Inquirer tagged the performers as "a hearty trio of medieval music specialists" and their work as "an intricate, enigmatic vocal art." -30- |
