The Baltimore Consort

Join the Baltimore Consort for a musical journey back in time with their performance of “In Angel’s Wede - Music of Mary, Queen of Scots.”

Tickets: $40 (fees not included)

Based on the life of the legendary queen, “In Angel’s Wede” features music that illustrates the different periods in her life. In addition to Scottish music, the program incorporates music from the French court Mary would have heard in her childhood, English music from the end of her life, a short detour to the Italy of her murdered secretary/lutenist (and papal spy?) David Rizzio, and an English piece by William Byrd commemorating her martyrdom, titled “In Angel’s Wede”. Captivating narration is provided by Emmy Award winner (and television and radio personality) Robert Aubry Davis.

Founded in 1980 to perform the instrumental music of Shakespeare’s time, the Baltimore Consort has explored early English, Scottish, and French popular music, focusing on the relationship between folk and art song and dance.
