Madrigalia and the Pastyme Consort at All Saints Church
Madrigalia and the Pastyme Consort presented their annual Renaissance Music concert at All Saints Church in Carmel on Saturday, June 4. The audience was welcomed to All Saints Church with its wonderful gardens and pleasing acoustics for the outstanding evening of delightful musical selections by Thomas Morley, John Dowland, William Cornyshe, Orlando Gibbons and others. With musicians dressed in period costumes the audience was swept away into the gentle world of recorders, mandolin, harpsichord, treble and bass viol, violin, percussion and lovely singing voices giving us their love of the music from the Renaissance period. Jeff DeMarco is truly an outstanding artistic director with a generous vision for the treasures of the Renaissance world. DeMarco was equally comfortable directing singers and his consort, as well as joining the consort ensemble on his bass viol. He entertained his listeners in between his selections with wit, history and insight which added to the charming evening and impressed all with his knowledge.

Right from the first notes of the Overture, we knew our evening was going to be magical journey.
