Mon, Sept 15, 7:30pm: On-line session with Frances Blaker

Meet and greet: 7:pm, Session: 7:30pm. Frances’s description of her session is: Music in Spain around 1500…and a bit later. In the late 15th and 16th centuries Spain was a hotbed of musical activity. Spanish-born composers as well as those from Portugal and, in particular, the Low Countries worked side by side at courts and cathedrals. We will play four pieces – three secular and one sacred work.  ”
