Consort Canzona Presents 'Hassler & Company' Concerts May 3-4 at Shepherd of the Sierra
Consort Canzona, a select group of instrumentalists and singers specializing in early music, will present two Hassler & Company concerts this spring on Friday, May 3, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, May 4, at 4 p.m., at Shepherd of the Sierra Lutheran Church, 3680 Highway 395 (just south of Best Buy) in Carson City. Director is Gary Schwartz. Admission is free, donations welcome.
The concert is named for Hans Leo Hassler, a German composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras. The program includes the motet, Dixit Maria, by Hassler and selections from the Missa Super Dixit Maria, a "parody mass" based on the motet, and three other short works by Hassler. The program also includes short instrumental works by Melchior Franck, Henry Purcell, Josquin des Prez, Johann Hermann Schein, Michel-Richard Delalande, Georg Phillipp Telemann, and others. Consort Canzona instruments are various sized recorders, harpsichord, and cello.
Consort Canzona is a performing group of the Carson City Symphony Association, supported in part by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information, see CCSymphony.com and www.facebook.com/ConsortCanzona/.
