The Suspicious Cheese Lords in Concert
For thirty years, the Suspicious Cheese Lords have specialized in Renaissance choral music, seeking out works which may be unknown even to audiences familiar with the genre. This concert will feature works by more well-known European composers such as Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, but also rarely-heard gems by the decidedly less familiar Elzéar Genet, Ludwig Senfl, and Jean Mouton. The program will be rounded out with a selection of both secular and more modern pieces, demonstrating the continued appeal of unaccompanied human voices.
