October 1 and 3, 2010


















Please join us for the first concert of our 6th season!  Soprano Laura Heimes, a long-time Rochester audience favorite, will team up with Pegasus Early Music Artistic Director and lutenist Deborah Fox for An English Treasury, featuring English lute songs from the 16th and 17th centuries.  From the love songs of John Dowland to the timeless works of Henry Purcell, our program will explore the colorful variety of English lute songs.  Included will be a song attributed to Queen Anne Boleyn, written as she waited for her beheading; a set of songs from Shakespeare plays; and songs by Nicholas Lanier, lutenist and gentleman art dealer.

The concerts take place in two venues, both perfect for the intimate spell of a song recital.  Friday night's concert will be held in the familiar and evocative wood-paneled salon in the Academy of Medicine will be the venue for Friday night.  Sunday's concert will take place in an exciting new venue, at the Colgate Rochester Crozier Divinity School.  You are sure to enjoy the warm, lively acoustics of this beautiful stone and stained-glass chapel.
