Renowned early-music vocal ensemble Les Canards Chantants, Glencairn Museum’s Ensemble in Residence, will perform in the Museum’s Great Hall on Saturday, January 26, at 7:30pm.

The program, “Come Life, Come Death, I Care Not – A Musical Tour of Jacobean London,” is presented in partnership with Parthenia, an ensemble of viola da gamba players.

The music is drawn from English Renaissance composer Michael East’s Third Book of Madrigals, first published in 1610, containing sacred anthems, madrigals, Neapolitans, and pastorals for voices and viols, as well as a cycle of eight viol fantasias, according to a press release from Glencairn Museum.

This viol ensemble—known as a “consort”—are artists in residence at The Church of Saint Luke in the Fields in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. The viol, or viola da gamba, is a family of stringed instruments celebrated in European music from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment.
