In the late 1400s, central France was home to many of the brightest and best composers in Europe, a generation that played a major role in shaping the newly emerging Renaissance style. Many of their secular polyphonic works are preserved in a group of manuscripts that were copied in the Loire Valley region around 1470. Join the Quilisma Consort for an exploration of the composers recorded in the books known as The Loire Valley Channoniers, performed on reproductions of Renaissance-era recorders, on Sunday, April 22, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. at the historic Loring-Greenough House, 12 South Street, Jamaica Plain.
Afternoon tea follows the program
The Sunday Afternoon at the ‘Greenough House series recreates the atmosphere of 18th and 19th century “musical afternoons” in the 1760 Loring-Greenough House on the first and third Sundays of each month, October through May.

A Renaissance instrumental ensemble, the Quilisma Consort are Lisa Gay (director), Melika M. Fitzhugh, and Carolyn Jean Smith.

Melika M. Fitzhugh (recorders, vihuela, guitar, viola) is a long-standing member of the world music ensemble Urban Myth where she plays many instruments including fiddle, bass, and percussion. She came to the Quilisma Consort to focus on early music. She has a degree in music composition from Harvard University.
Lisa Gay (recorders, harp, voice) founded the Quilisma Consort in 2004 to satisfy her addiction to early music. An avid recorder player and fan of Orlando de Lasso since childhood, she has performed in The Christmas Revels in Cambridge and Chicago, and with ensembles such as Calliope, The Masqued Phoenix Consort, and Ars et Amici. She studies recorder with John Tyson.
