The Food of Love

The Baltimore Consort’s arrangements of early music from England, Scotland, France, Italy, and Spain speak to the heart as well as the mind, and their love for the early music of English/Scottish heritage has led them to delve into the rich trove of traditional balladry and dance tunes preserved in the Appalachian mountains and Nova Scotia. The ensemble performs their core repertoire on period instruments, including lute, cittern, viols, and flute.

This Baltimore Consort will explore repertory from the Elizabethan era with songs and consort music from the Shakespeare plays in a program entitled “The Food of Love”. The program consists of some of the greatest hits from the Bard’s songbook, including dances and consort music related to the plays and featuring soprano Danielle Svonavec.
