• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  In preparation for a concert of Medieval quartets commissioned by the Santa Cruz Baroque Festival, Concordian Dawn presents “Order in Fours”. The number 4 represents stability, a firm foundation, order in the universe, the completion of justice, the bodily humours, and a perfect Pythagorean interval. This program explores such symbolism in variously configured quartets.

  Concordian Dawn specializes in vocal repertoire from the 12th through 14th centuries, drawing on primary source material and focusing on socio-philosophical similarities between texts from centuries ago and the mindset of modern society. The ensemble’s “mesmerizing” (Early Music America) debut album, Fortuna Antiqua et Ultra (MSR Classics), was released in December of 2021 to critical acclaim, and forthcoming releases include a collaboration with Medieval studies scholar, Sarah Kay, in conjunction with her monograph, Medieval Song from Aristotle to Opera (Cornell University Press/MSR Classics).
