Toronto Consort Unveils 2024-25 Season
By David SalazarThe Toronto Consort has unveiled its 2024-25 season.
The company will open the season with “A Muses Garden” which features works from the Elizabethan period as curated and hosted by soprano Dame Emma Kirkby.
“It speaks of anguish, delight and ineffable beauty, allowing the singer freedom to embody thoughts and emotions which listeners have recognized and shared ever since! Is it any wonder that returning to Dowland always feels like coming home?” Kirkby said on the official website.
The program features music by Dowland, Hume, Lawes, and Purcell as performed by young singers from the Dowland Collective.
