Avila: Musicians & Mystics of 16th Century Spain

Music from Spain's Golden Age (for vihuela and voice) and poetry from the Spanish mystics John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila.

Amy and Dominic were a hit in 2010. Amy has a clear and expressive voice that fills the hall. Dominic plays instruments in the lute family. For this concert he will be playing the vihuela, a beautiful guitar-like lute that was favored in the Spanish court in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Don't miss our special April 1st concert by the rollicking local group Courtly Noyse, specialists in Renaissance instrumental and vocal music that ranges from the sublime to the bawdy.
