Byrd Fest at Holy Redeemer, New York, Starring Elizabeth and Charles Weaver

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Mark your calendars so you can be sure to come to the Church of Most Holy Redeemer (173 E 3rd St) for “Byrd Fest”–a concert of the great recusant English Renaissance composer William Byrd who died 400 years ago this year. Byrd’s legacy includes more than over 400 pieces of music composed at a time when the Catholic faith was outlawed in his country. His life reminds us that even in times of persecution, great Catholic art is still possible and worthwhile.
Performers include some of the finest singers and lute players on the NYC early music scene – Charles and Elizabeth Weaver (faculty at Juilliard, and faithful Catholics); Terrence Fay, and Grant Herreid. 
Free and open to all; reception to follow in the rectory garden.
