Experience the sonic landscape of voice and viola da gamba: the rich bass of the cello, the colorful harmonies of the lute, and the warmth of the mezzo-soprano voice. The tradition of accompanying the voice with viola da gamba began in 16th century Italy and spread to England by the 17th century. Our program will feature some of the “Greatest Hits” of Italian and English songs of love, despair, and wit.

Lyracle is a new ensemble featuring current SMTD student James Perretta and alumna Ashley Mulcahy (voice).
