The Orlando Consort
Amore
Matthew Venner, countertenor
Mark Dobell, tenor
Angus Smith, tenor
Donald Greig, baritone

In a program of Renaissance music, which heralded a dramatic new age by casting aside medieval shackles of courtly love and focusing on the joys of requited love, the Orlando Consort will perform works by Ciconia, Brunel, Gombert, Josquin, Compère, Isaac, and others.

This concert is presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Art and Love in Renaissance Italy.”

The exhibition is made possible by the Gail and Parker Gilbert Fund and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.

Additional support is provided by The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation.

The exhibition was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth.

It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities.
