Fortune My Foe: Ballads, Songs & Dances
743 Prospect Street, San Diego, 92037
Cost: $10 - $35
The rich intersection of music and poetry, of broadside ballads and popular tunes, of high art music and country dances, is brought to life through Piffaro’s varied collection of period wind and plucked string instruments, and the voice of mezzo-soprano Maren Montalbano. This program of music will include works of Elizabethan England composers, including William Byrd, Thomas Weelkes, and John Dowland, as well as anonymous ballads and dances of English society in the late 16th to early 17th centuries.
