They return for a season finale honoring the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd, one of the most extraordinary composers England has ever produced. Their program weaves together the strands of Byrd’s complex life as both pillar of the Protestant musical establishment and faithful servant of the Catholic underground with some of the composer’s most beloved works alongside lesser-known gems by his pupils Thomas Morley, Peter Philips, and Thomas Tomkins.
