About

Musique Royale welcomes the mesmerising sounds “Wild Spring” by Helios Vocal Ensemble, featuring music for unaccompanied vocal consort from England, France, and Italy. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have given us a bounty of beautifully expressive European vocal music, especially songs about attraction, love, and heartbreak. In this program, Helios’s five highly trained singers explore the deep emotions of this music, from sorrow to joy, from tears to laughter, all in beautiful harmony. Join us for our final Cookie Concert before summer break to hear beautiful a capella music at the Lunenburg School of the Arts on Saturday June 7 at 2pm. All ages are welcome, and kids are invited to sit in the front!
