On Saturday, April 18, at 7 pm, Kent Chamber Music presents the final concert of its 2014 – 2015 season at Hotchkiss Recital Hall, Gibson Center for the Arts, Washington College in Chestertown. Returning for a 5th straight year, the Peabody Consort will perform Music of Three Faiths – a selection of music from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries.
The Peabody Consort is a select group of early music students, alumni and guest artists from the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Founded and directed by Mark Cudek, Director of the Early Music program at the Peabody Conservatory, the Consort was formed in 1996 for a tour of Rome, Italy. Musicians in the groups are Mark Cudek, cittern, doumbec, riq; Jeffrey Grabelle, bass viola da gamba; Brian Kay, oud; Aik Shin Tan; flute and recorders; Julie Bosworth, Abigail Chapman and Grace Srinivasan, sopranos; and Niccolo Seligmann, vielle.
As you can see from the list of instruments, the musicians will be performing on period instruments. The instrumentation is varied to match the demands of a variety of repertoire and includes recorder, viola da gamba, plucked strings (cittern), percussion and solo voice or voices.
Our concerts are informal and audience-friendly, with the musicians commenting on the music they perform and welcoming questions from listeners. After the concert, meet and mingle with the musicians while enjoying refreshments.
We hope you have enjoyed all of our 2014-2015 concerts, made possible by your generous donations and the financial support of the Hedgelawn Foundation and Kent County Arts Council.
Tickets are $15 at the door. Visit our website at www.kentchambermusic.com or call 410-810-1834 for more information about the program and performers.
