HESPERUS returns to the SoHIP series in an irreverent exploration of the animal kingdom. A quartet of multi-instrumentalists performs music by Machaut, Vaillant, Isaac, Arbeau, Ciconia, and Morley along with spirited narration based on Medieval and Renaissance bestiaries (illuminated books of beasts). Mythical beings and real creatures spring to life in this tale meant for anyone who’s ever had a pet! Plus, enjoy a special instrument show-and-tell following the concert. Learn More
