Serenades for the Soul
February 10, 2008 — 3 pm
Christopher Chroniak, Countertenor
Chicago Early Music Consort
LCSO String Quartet
St. Paul Lutheran Church, Michigan City

Just in time for a romantic Valentine’s Day, be serenaded by the harmonious blend of voices, lute, recorder, and viola da gamba as a concert of songs and instrumental music transports you to 17th century England. Countertenor Christopher Chroniak and the Chicago Early Music Consort join together for a unique blend of songs, serenades and dances. The LCSO string quartet will transport you back to modern times as they serenade you with modern, romatic classics.

Acclaimed as an ensemble of “imaginative” programming and “delicate, flawlessly-played music”, the Chicago Early Music Consort recreates the rich and diverse sounds of the late Renaissance and early Baroque chamber repertoire in a historically-informed manner.

The core ensemble consists of a “broken” consort of viola da gamba PHILLIP W. SERNA, soprano STEPHANIE SHEFFIELD, lute/theorbo JOEL SPEARS, and recorders GARY BERKENSTOCK.
