The Wavery Consort
The Boston Globe: "A group not only extraordinary in its ability to bring early music to life, but also outstanding in the level of individual virtuosity, . . . rare refinement and imagination, and a sense of atmosphere that was enchanting." Founded in 1964 by Michael and Kay Jaffee to explore the fascinating sounds and styles of early musical repertories, the ensemble has created a worldwide audience for its music through international concerts, recordings, and radio and television appearances.
Concert to include:
-chronicles in song of the conquest at Granada
-vibrant Moorish-influenced popular songs & dances of 15th-Century Spain
-elegant Christian court and chapel music from the reigns of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella
