Barefoot Chamber Concerts ("an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality" - San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.
Barefoot's May Concert features Medieval music, itself a threatened species on the West Coast: Calextone's "Una Panthera" is a program of the legendary music by 14th-century Italian composers and the northerners who lived in Italy. The program includes Johannes Ciconia's hauntingly-beautiful madrigal Una Panthera, written in honor of the city of Lucca, as well as works by composers Francesco Landini, Vincenzo da Rimini, and Jacopo da Bologna, three of the many composers who appear in the sumptuous Squarcialupi Codex. Lively caccias, sensuous ballate and madrigali by some of the great composers of 14th-century Italy will make the trecento come alive again in Calextone's performance.
Calextone is: Allison Zelles Lloyd, voice and harp; Frances Blaker, recorder and hammered dulcimer; Letitia Berlin, recorder, doucaine and psaltery; Shira Kammen, vielle, harp and voice. Calextone specializes in the music of western Europe from the 13th through the 15th centuries.
There will be the usual highly acclaimed Barefoot snax. For more information, visit barefootchamberconcerts.com. Tickets online (recommended) or at the door if not sold out.
