The Baltimore Consort presents a brand new program featuring music from the Elizabethan era: "The Food of Love: Songs, Dances, and Fancies for Shakespeare" with songs and consort music from Shakespeare's plays. Soprano Danielle Svonavec performs some of the greatest hits from the Bard's songbook, including "It Was a Lover and his Lass," "Where the Bee Sucks," "Full Fathom Five" and "The Willow Song." The Baltimore Consort instrumentalists perform dances and consort music related to the plays, using their "exquisite consort" of instruments - lute, cittern, viols and flute.
