Love, Renaissance Style
With a nod to the 1970s TV show Love American Style, singers from the New York City-based professional chorus Voices of Ascension perform Love, Renaissance Style as part of the Minnie Untermyer Series on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. at the Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers.
Curated by Guest Artistic Director and mezzo-soprano Maren Montalbano, the program features soprano Jessica Beebe, tenor Jacob Perry, and bass Daniel Schwartz singing selections from the saucy side of the secular Renaissance, with Kevin Payne accompanying on lute. With a blend of music and storytelling that reveals the passion, humor, and humanity of a bygone age, this quartet, comprised of specialists in Renaissance repertoire from Voices of Ascension, presents tunes ranging from playful madrigals to songs full of ribaldry.
