Poor Robin’s Almanack

Thomas Fields ~ viol
Lucine Musaelian ~ voice & viol
Arnie Tanimoto ~ viol
Parker Ramsay ~ harpsichord & harp

How can we guess the weather? Supposing we know what’s coming, do we end up following through on our grand designs? In a program including selections from Christopher Simpson’s The Months and Thomas Simpson’s Taffel Consort, A Golden Wire will give audiences a glimpse of the ways in which time, the seasons, and life’s transitions were thought about in 17th-century England.

A Golden Wire is a period instrument ensemble based in New York City. Founded in 2019, it is co-directed by gambist Arnie Tanimoto and harpist Parker Ramsay. Specializing in early modern music from France and England, A Golden Wire performs across the United States to present programs of underperformed and undiscovered repertoire.
