Music Mondays - A Nest of Byrds

The Cardinal Consort of Viols has been featured in a wide range of concert series, including Conrad Grebel’s noon-hour series (University of Waterloo), Toronto Early Music Centre’s Musically Speaking, and the concert series of the Associates of the Toronto Symphony. Cardinal Consort has also performed with several choirs, among them the Grand Philharmonic Chamber Singers, Toronto Chamber Choir, and Tallis Choir.

The Cardinal Consort of Viols is joined once again by counter-tenor Daniel Cabena as it returns to Music Mondays on the 17th of June with "A Nest of Byrds." This performance rounds out their 2023–2024 season commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd (c. 1540–1623), which has taken the ensemble to Kitchener, Hamilton, and Winnipeg and which features music by Byrd and his colleagues, teachers, students, and contemporaries.
